Lines of flight - Gilles Deleuze Glossaries was my graduation project at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in 2015.The Fold is the first in a series of three glossaries, based on The Fold by Deleuze. 

These books are an attempt to apply Deleuze’s concepts formally, as a design method,  in the binding and editing of the texts. The content is a collection of some of the visual, literary and cultural references made by the philosopher as he elaborates his ideas, an indication of his advanced knowledge of past and present art and culture intricately interwoven into his complex arguments. I have added images or fragments of text illustrating my own attempt to access, navigate and acquire some of this encyclopedic knowledge and hope these glossaries incite their readers to explore Deleuze’s texts further and find their own  knowledge paths within them.

The three glossaries have a strong sculptural aspect, but should firstly be regarded as books – that is, something to be read. While reading them may feel unusual and slightly disorienting, the experience of looking, leafing or scrolling through them is meant as part of understanding their content. They have no clear beginning or end because Deleuze himself in his books argues they can and should be accessed at any point, read in a non-linear fashion.
