In this episode of Book making as an art form: exploring the boundaries, I sit down with Caleb Cain Marcus, creative director of Luminosity Lab, a Brooklyn-based design studio. He is known for making books that are not just objects but experiences.

Shaped by a childhood in the mountains of Colorado and a background in poetry, photography, and printing, Caleb shares his reflections on:

  • Looking and curiosity as a lifelong practice
  • Moving from poetry and photography into book design
  • Why does he produce his books in Europe
  • Cultural support, budgets, and the ecosystems around bookmaking

It’s a joyful conversation about attention, emotion, and the power of books.
