Lo-Fi "Infinite Canvas"

I found an alternative pattern for the traditional accordion book that creates a vehicle for telling several stories from the same images or text. I made a little wordless comic using this book.

According to the Oubapo America website this type of project can be categorized as pluri-readability (comic that can be read meaningfully in more than one way). It also may be considered coverage (requiring manipulation of the page to enable new reading)
Here it is unfolded. It has images on both sides and each page has an image on the top and bottom much like a playing card.

You can go through it linearly, like a traditional book.

Or you can fold the pages out to create thousands of different story combinations.


The drawings are pretty crude, since I was just playing around with it, and I'm not happy with all of the image choices I made, but I'll probably be posting the various readings of the book in the coming months.

It would be interesting to see a variation of 5 card Nancy with this format.
