Carla Shale, Leporello Ausmalbuch: ARCHITEKTUR, Knesebeck, Munich, 2016

cover with elastic fastener

I haven't come across one of these types of accordions for a while — a DIY accordion coloring book (Ausmalbuch)! Shale provides outline drawings of renowned architectural monuments from famous cities around the world, complete with instructions inside the cover requesting the reader/viewer/ artist to: 

"let your imagination run wild! 15 coloring pictures take you through the most beautiful metropolises in the world, from the ancient buildings in Rome to the modern architecture of New York and Beijing - all motifs together create a 3 meter long panoramic picture for your wall decoration."

32 single-sided pages, individually 5.75" x 3.75" and when unfolded 10ft
