two frames [2% 1% | 1% 2%] is part of a series of books where what happens when the book is closed is of interest – the bringing together of two facing pages brings together two pieces of content.

A smaller version, mimicking a small handheld closing photo frame, perhaps, with a narrower border/frame. Here the book explores the illusion of how the ‘imprint’ of the right hand square might be left on the left hand side when the book is closed and then opened again. Both frames are empty.
