On Reflection

On Reflection by A J Poyiadgi. 
2013.
11.8cm x 18cm, six pages colour printed on a continuous strip concertina folded.
£4

Yet another interested work from A J Poyiadgi (see my last post post on the origami comic) - this time a cautionary tale of overcoming loneliness by becoming friends with your own reflection.

It’s evocatively drawn, the mirrored guy also speaks in mirrored language, so you’ll need a reflective surface if you’re not fluent in backwards.

I love the attention to detail of the line drawing on the bellyband too.

Origami Comic

Origami Comic. A J Poyiadgi. 2013. 

Colour printed A5 sheet. £3.

Another unique form and interactive storytelling device. Designed to be cut and folded to form a 7cm square. Once folded the reader moves the flaps to alter the image segments and with it the fate of the two protagonists. Melancholy origami. 

A J Poyiadgi is interested in other forms of alternative storytelling - he's made other unique comics in unusual formats that I hope to review in future posts.
