This handmade book reinforces its main theme – memory – with 3D printed typography, making it an object of remembrance. Type was embedded between the book’s cover and fabric layers, allowing typography to function as a tactile element rather than a purely visual one. It prioritizes touch, weight, and texture, to mirror how memories are often felt physically and carried over time.
Vera, the author, explores the intricate relationship between memory and fashion, examining how vintage clothing serves as a vessel for nostalgia and personal history. It touches onto the ways material objects become carriers of remembrance, particularly in the context of immigration, where garments can hold the weight of past identities and lost places.
Fashioning Memory is Vera Abdulina’s Bachelor thesis in KABK’s Photography program.
