A book based on the ideas of ʻReproductionʻ and ʻAuthenticityʻ from Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction by Walter Benjamin. The theme of mass production and globalization are referenced in the form of the book. A tiered structure with each chapter increasing in width, held together with a traditional Japanese stab binding technique. Brands are scrutinized for their global scale, and their impact on how consumers view mass produced products as "art".
