The Paradox of Stillness: Art_Object_Performance is an experimental book design and editorial research project exploring stillness in relation to motion, with a focus on performance art, movement practices, and Butoh. The publication brings together a curated collection of articles examining how stillness and movement coexist within the body and shape perception, presence, and embodiment.

Through research into performance artists and Butoh practice, the project considers stillness not as a static condition but as an active state within the moving body. Slowness, suspension, and controlled movement become ways of exploring awareness, presence, and the space between action and restraint.

The editorial design translates this paradox through a minimal and conceptual typographic approach. Spatial composition, rhythm, pacing, and visual silence become integral elements of the page, allowing the design itself to reflect the relationship between stillness and motion.
