Recently landed: Tunnel & Peep
A paper theatre in the making, our very own tunnel book (also referred to as a peep show book, where a series of cut-paper panels are placed one behind the other to create the illusion of depth and perspective) is taking shape, ahead of the eleventh NGV Melbourne Art Book Fair 2025.
