"Animal Farm" is an experimental book that visually translates the essence of George Orwell’s work, graphically exploring its contrasts, tensions, and ambiguities. This visual narrative delves into the opposition between freedom and oppression, trust and fear, transparency and manipulation, reflecting the gradual decay of the initial ideals.
The materiality of the book becomes an integral part of the experience: pages alternate between white and shades of gray. The typography shifts between opposing states—at times dense and oppressive, at others fine and balanced—mirroring the erosion of truth and discourse. Circles, following the same logic as the typography, further intensify the sense of tension and control.
The structure of the text echoes the narrative of revolution and downfall: it begins fragmented, gradually reconstructs as the animals seize power, and ultimately dissolves once more into an even deeper state of ruin.
"Animal Farm" is a sensory experience that immerses the reader in the farm’s atmosphere, allowing them to feel the weight of oppression and the inevitability of the cycle of power and corruption.
