Context
Who would have thought that a simple cone-shaped marker could have such a rich and mysterious history?
In the late 1930s, a lengthy legal battle occurred over the ownership of the traffic cone. Surprisingly, neither side won because the jury believed that cone-shaped markers already existed before.
So, what kinds of cone-shaped artifacts existed before, and why?
Halfway between an art project and a visual essay, this book delves into the history of cone-shaped objects, from ancient times to the modern era, blending reality and imagination.
