Redesign of 'The Desire for Elsewhere' Book by Agnes Chew

Natashia Salim

The Desire for Elsewhere is a book of essay collections written by Agnes Chew. Although it has a unique structure, unfortunately its existing medium has not represented its uniqueness effectively. Alas, the book could not reach its maximum potential as a physical object. This issue is also supported by the fact that many Indonesians nowadays doesn’t find books appealing due to it being visually repetitive, and thus, boring; whereas books have gone through centuries of advancements and inventions. Thus, the writer sees an opportunity to redesign The Desire for Elsewhere with an ergodic literature approach, in hopes for reintroducing the people of Indonesia to the printed book format with the redesigned book.
