INTELLIGENT
SOPHISTICATED
Piotrowski uses realistic imagery to produce a picture book that looks good enough to eat! Featuring the basic elements of a sandwich—lettuce, tomato, cheese, onions, meat—the Polish artist created a three dimensional meal that readers can flip through and enjoy as a visual snack.
Each layer is a depiction of the delicious foods. Piotrowski tore holes out of the yellow paper cheese, ripped and crinkled the textured paper lettuce,
and rounded the corners off of the bits of onion. Upon closing the book, the details of the bread look just as fresh as a real loaf. Yum!
The first hint of an idea for the project came from Piotrowski’s study days, when a former teacher of his, told his class to create a book. Piotrowski
wanted to make something unusual, something that would attract people’s attention due to an unusual shape. One morning, during breakfast with his
girlfriend, he suddenly had the idea for the ‘Sandwich Book’, an idea to encourage people to think about the book in a different way than before.
