Pause & Wonder

Hardcover books for things that refuse to hurry. Each Edition gathers eight to twelve Contributors, each writing in their own words and their own language, with their own images. Published by the Ginkgo Institute.
Now

Edition 1 is in production.

The Contributors have written. The images have been chosen. The front cover is a single image and nothing else; the title and a short account of the book live on the back.

Inside, a map of where each Contributor wrote from. It grows with every Edition.

The object

Made to be kept

Cloth, paper, and weight chosen to outlast the afternoon a book is opened on. Turn down a corner if you must. We expect you will.

* Annual, roughly. It depends on a list of variables kept by Samantha Reyes, Direktora of Editions, who updates it more often than the Editions appear.
