Orbis Tertius
Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius is a publication based on Jorge Luis Borges’ short fiction of the same name. Told in the first-person narrative, the story focuses on the protagonists’ discovery of the mysterious and fictional land of Tlön.
This is the first project where I art-directed and designed all the elements that appeared in the book, from layout and typographic construction to photographs and illustrations. The result was a book resembling the collection of a scholar who helped compile the encyclopedia of Tlön.
