What if graphic design was affected by dementia symptoms?





BOOK NARRATIVE AFFECTED BY MEMORY LOSS 1
This set of three books form a project in which I explore how memory loss could affect book narrative.

With Playback I explored the symptom of repetition, associated with the fact that people affected with Alzheimer’s disease often lose their short-term memory.
Although diagnosed for many years my grandfather still reads a lot. However whenever he stops reading he has trouble remembering his place. So he always starts from the beginning, and never reaches the end of the book.


Experiment developed with 2nd hand book Playback by Raymond Chandler, 1965, Penguin Books.
