The Concept
The concept of this book relates to a 'game' in the sense of competing and fighting for the attention of a partner to reproduce with. Through art directed paintings and imagery, as well as experimental type choices, this book combines the science and history of humanity, with a dark sexual twist.
The Process
The first step in creating this book (and every project) is researching the topic thoroughly. I did some online research and watched a documentary on the history and evolution of sex and mating. I was drawn to the idea that every living creature is competing for survival and therefore successful reproduction. The publications take on a dark, sexual direction to create intrigue and suspence in the topic.
