Printed Book

The printed book is a remake of The Open Society, by Karl Popper. The reason this book was chosen is that at the time of producing the photobook, it was at the core of the research being done. The Open Society was a building block in the popularization of the "open thought" concept. In it, Popper presents a defense of the open society and liberal democracy. His interpretation of Plato together with the dichotomy of open and closed systems have been widely criticized. One of Popper's critics, Nathaniel Tkacz, argues that due to Popper's binary notion of openness, it inherently possesses closure.

‘Openness refers to the relative degree of freedom given to the dissemination of information or knowledge and involves assumptions concerning the nature and extent of the audience’
