Tessellation

A tiled mosaic pattern created without overlapping or leaving empty spaces.

Tate Modern

This two-part catalogue documents the installation of a series of five giant

playground slides spiralling down into the Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern in

London, UK. The first part explores the potential for the use of the slide in the public

realm, while part two is a collection of the texts and images that inspired the artist.

The two catalogues could be purchased individually, but the cover design suggests

an integral relationship between the two by depicting different crops of the same

image, tessellated to produce the full image. Depending on how they are tessellated,

either the complete image or the titles are readable but never both at the same time.

This created interesting display opportunities in the Tate Modern shop.
