UCLA Design Media Arts alum Daniel González ’14 just made a little history — on a very large scale. The Chicano graphic artist and Los Angeles-based printmaker created “Luceros y Penumbras,” officially recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s largest pop-up book.
Created with paper engineer Matthew Reinhart for the Los Angeles Central Library’s centennial, the monumental book measures 31 by 20 feet when open, with pop-up elements rising more than 11 feet. González drew on his own memories of Los Angeles to create an ode to the city, knowledge and imagination. See it in the Central Library rotunda through mid-November.
