A publication by Berlin-based Australian writer and photographer Shannon May Powell, The Anthropomorphism Of Objects Is A Form Of Play explores a perspective that is simultaneously close and distant, exploring both immediate and peripheral details. Created while a resident artist at Torna Istanbul Gallery and bookshop in June 2016, the publication consists of three separate booklets: Book of Writings, Book of Images and Book of Research – merging poetic prose, images and ideas as a kind of playful reflection on the ways in which the mind projects human qualities onto objects, animals and gods, transforming the meaningless into magic. Published by Torna (Istanbul).
