108 is a self-published book project chronicling the research―set in motion by two sculptural, visual works that revolve around 108― produced in an on-going process until the edition quantity of 108 is reached. Every book is hand-made. There is a nine-colour spectrum of the spine-stitching.
The cover is hand-embossed with a symbol designed based on Mongol script, meaning 108.
It consists of 3 chapters of the found fragments of information regarding this particular number. And further 3 chapters of a short story that moves between fiction, dream and memories—literally.
The narrative was conceived from an object—a stone—and a dream, weaving itself through the memories of Mongolia, but in the setting of a fictional world imbued with inherent Mongol shamanic qualities.}
