Invisible Cities / Le città invisibili
.
"It is not the voice that commands the story: it is the ear,” writes Italo Calvino so beautifully in his novel 'Invisible Cities'. He describes distant places, so remote we may never reach them. We all have these cities deep within us, beating as one with our own heart.
.
When I first met Laila, a Palestinian chef living in Paris, she told me about her grandmother in Hebron (al-Khalīl), about her parents, about pigeons roasted in sumac, and how her family had to flee one day, suddenly, leaving their home behind. forever. There were tears in her eyes, as she remembered Hebron of her early childhood, and Jerusalem covered in snow.
.
We have met so many times since, laughing and dreaming of the future, but if you could only hear her sing so beautifully all those songs of Umm Kulthum, with the musician from Gaza beside her plucking the strings of the Oud, you would then hear the sound of longing, for all that has been lost and shall never return.
.
In this entanglement, there is only one possible path, which leads straight into the jumble of relationships, between the cities - as living spaces, and human beings - who dream up these places and tie into them all their passion and anxiety, that are with us always. It is a journey of regret and forgiveness, and a desire to live in dialogue where each of us offers the other this ethical claim for the right to exist, to equality and love.
.
On the Hummus Route is a futuristic journey, and if we had one more chapter added to this book, it would have definitely been about Hebron, al-Khalīl of Laila’s grandmother, and about the Hebronite cuisine, with pigeons in sumac, and this long line of beautiful, powerful women who sing and dream of one day realizing their right, which so begs to be, to return, to that one place. To that invisible city.

Book design of AOI Images 34: Best of British Illustration 2010.
This year I took the principles of the previous year and tried to create something brighter and stronger. I cut the letters for the cover out of paper and photographed them, then enhanced them to look slightly hyper real. Used a striking green that would have standout on the shelf and follow that through to inside the book as section markers.

Byoung Won Choi speaks about his Book Publishing
"It was a series of work assembling parts of consciousness, spirit, and parts of thoughts about which I felt complications as a designer, rummaging my favorite articles, sketches of ideas, designs, and portfolios. I also collected daily episodes and favorite sentences. I took off materials of different concept, and recomposed old designs. I screened these contents filtering through 'Green', and illuminated life and design...

Book design of AOI Images 33: Best of British Illustration 2009.
This year I worked together with Adrian Shaughnessy on the design of the Images Book and exhibition graphics. In the book we created a tighter grid with a more contemporary feel and rather than just selecting an illustration from the book to use on the cover we created a typographic design that didn't favour any one illustration style or individual and that could be experimented with in the future. We then followed these principles through to the exhibition and awards.
