Unnumbered Artist's Book by Priya Pereira
“Unnumbered is an artists’ book which explores the only, remotely mathematical component of a page strewn with words - the page number. Though typically relegated to a tiny portion on the bottom, top or sides of a page, the importance of a page number in a book cannot be underestimated. In Unnumbered it appears unchanged but slowly and steadily infiltrates the text to eventually prove its point.
The book carries the true story of Ramanujan, the Indian mathematical genius using original text from The Man Who Knew Infinity by Robert Kanigel, as a medium to convey its idea…. This book looks like any other paperback novel, actually disguising its artists’ book nature, till you flip a few pages.” - Priya Pereira.
Unnumbered comes with a copy of The Man Who Knew Infinity.
7” x 4.75” x 1.5”

Priya Pereira (she/her) is a book artist from Mumbai, India. Starting in 1993, working with her partner and husband Tony Pereira, she began to make Artists' Books. These books are called Pixie Bks, as she is called Pixie at home. She believes this is her ‘calling’ and negotiating a way to survive has become a way of life. Making Artists’ Books has been a slow but invaluable experience that has taken 30 years. As of today, the books are in 77 collections all over the world, but the best compliment she has received is the query, “But where is the book?”
