Leporello
The term Leporello refers to any printed material folded into an accordion-pleat, sometimes referred to as a concertina fold. Ancient accordion-folded books have been found in many parts of Asia. In the Victorian era, leporellos were commonly used as travel souvenirs, depicting panoramic landscape scenes of the places travelers had just seen. Today, many leporellos are an account of incidents or events – sometimes as extensive narratives which can be printed on both sides of the folded medium.
Stephen Hobbs: Man Shouting in Distance
Since 1994, the City of Johannesburg, theatres of war, surgery rooms, and construction sites have been complimented by interests in structural engineering, orthopaedics and camouflage, providing lenses for a practice concerned with artistic equivalents for defensiveness, congestion, precarity, entropy, and death. These concepts are explored through video, printmaking, bookmaking, assemblage and sculpture.
