“On the Cult of Books” is a project based on the recirculation of Jorge Luis Borges’ 19th century manifesto of the same name. Linked below, the text discusses the philosophy of writing, reading, and uses allegory in books to take meaning in life.
The “recirculated” element comes in the design and packaging. The text lives in a leather bound, laser engraved cover, delicately printed on vellum. The book’s function is to attract an eager reader, appearing similar, but slightly different than other books around it.
