A world inside a book

Brian Dettmer is an American artist, mostly known for his works involving alterations of existing media: books, maps, records, audio casettes...

Among his most fascinating pieces are his book carvings, turning ordinary books into sculptures and revealing their content as a three-dimensional work of art.

This one is entitled Science in the Twentieth Century.
