Time Capsules is a series of 3 books, gathering ready made printed materials collected in Tokyo, Japan.
 

Viewing the book as an object that functions as a time capsule led me to create this project. The Japanese stab-binding method allows the bookmaker to gather different types of paper, of different sizes, shapes and orientations. By using this binding method as a tool that can be easily used in order to create collections, I decided to create literal time capsules of printed materials, collected in a specific time and place.

The 1st time capsule was made of flyers collected on train stations over the course of a month. The second time capsule is a collection of newspapers bought in convenience stores over the course of one week. The last time capsule was created of paper bags collected from the street on paper trash day.
