This Book is a Camera

Pop-up books are known for their interactive qualities, but Kelli Anderson's book, This Book is a Camera, takes things to a whole new level. Yes, this book is an actual, pop-up pinhole camera made entirely of paper. Just open the book, and in a couple pinches and folds later you have a functioning camera. Oh, and it is now for sale!This Book is a Camera from kellianderson on Vimeo.Last night I actually had the opportunity of meeting Kelli in person at her lecture here in Austin. She has an undeniable passion for what she does, and it shows in her amazing breadth of work. Her love for science and learning is clearly present in this newest book of hers. Speaking to the purpose behind making the book, Kelli said, "Specifically, I wanted to make a working camera within an educational pop-up book—one that connects the dots between design and science / structure and function." And so she did! And lucky for all of us, we can purchase it too right here!
