***

Yusuke Oono, born in Germany and trained as an architect, has designed a surprising twist on the pop-up book. As its title suggests, unfolding this petite book in a circular fashion results in a 360-degree panoramic scene. Here, the classic fairy tale is revisited in a progression from light to dark. With the dwarves and animals cheerfully working and playing on one side, Snow White stands hesitatingly in the middle as the witch beckons with her cursed apple from the murky forest depths.
