yann taillefer's ITO (diorama for an alternate universe)
ITO, by Yann Taillefer, (via Le Dernier cri) is an instructional manual for an alien universe. It contains lovley full scale, birds eye view illustrations of an entire process of creation, through birth, the human form, the mold of skin, interacting with others, consuming, war, and death. This simply, yet elegently drawn world by Yann is a definite microcosm of our own world, and a fantastic journey into the surreal. 'ITO' very much reminds me of the Codex Seraphinianus (by Luigi Serafini) another of my favorite books, as well as the Voynich manuscript.
