In Sherlock's footsteps

  • Leila Rivière
This project was all about creating an interactional book. I wanted to go over the conventional use of a book. It was a choice to mix tradition and contemporary as to push the reader to question a new way of reading.
I wished to work with Sherlock Holmes, a classic of English literature. Especially the last volume His Last Bow.
What you have in your hands is an old book. Once opened, it surprises the reader. The chapters are written in way to guide the reader even if their use are independent of each other. It also reminds the archiving of elements of an investigation.
Every chapter has a peculiar way of reading and pushes the reader to find the adequate way to discover the text and images, as like in a mystery solving. The reader becomes a detective, and follows the clues until he unveils the last chapter, the last photo, the last bow of Sherlock Holmes.
