Boom maakt boek [Boom Makes Books], Lex Reitsma concentrates on the bookmaking practice of Dutch designer Irma Boom. The film explores Boom's practice through two projects she was working on at the time: one for the fashion label Viktor & Rolf and a personal study of painter Ellsworth Kelly. Offering a close look at the making of these books, the documentary reveals a compelling portrait of Boom, highlighting the connections she establishes between design and content, as well as her approach to three-dimensionality, experimentation, and tactility.
The film will be screened in its original language with Turkish subtitles.
