Author Luis Camnitzer is a celebrated artist known for art that deconstructs accepted frameworks and exposes systems of power.
THE VOLUME, Camnitzer’s first children’s book, is a whimsical adventure that takes readers on a journey through concepts that are the foundation of both art and life.
Filled with imaginative text, mind-expanding illustrations and an impressive gatefold that illuminates the story, Camnitzer’s THE VOLUME will enlighten and delight every child and the child in all of us. In this beautiful and humorous children’s book, Camnitzer turns his powers of observation to familiar visual ideas and helps us to see them anew. Words and art collide—in Camnitzer’s signature style— to create a book that explores the very existence of humanity and the essence of being human.
For children and their educators and guardians, THE VOLUME helps us understand, in a charming way, how a simple dot on a page can lead to the creation of letters, colors, drawings and infinite possibilities.
