This book was completed in Tom Ockerse’s Concrete Books class. It is inspired by, “The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat,” by Oliver Sacks. In the story, Dr.P., Sacks’ patient, is diagnosed with a kind of visual agnosia that makes him unable to see complete images. Instead of understanding an entire picture, he sees fragments and abstractions. In order to visually understand what he sees, he must rely on rhythms and songs which he assigns to everyday tasks and routines. When a song is broken or interrupted he is lost.

Similar to Dr.P.’s coping mechanism, this book relies on rhythms. When read quickly a musical routine is experienced. Abstract imagery and “real” photographic imagery read as one sequence of actions, a kind of animation. When read slowly the fragments and abstractions become freestanding ideas and the music of the animation is obscured

Some early animation and binding studies. The sequence for believable motion turns out to be different from the actual time sequence of the photography.
