A 4-page pop-up book consisting of paper cut-out dioramas based on widely circulated film and TV depictions of four historic events in America: witnesses to Abraham Lincoln's assassination in 1865 at Ford Theatre; John F. Kennedy's limousine passing the grassy knoll in Dallas in 1963; O.J. Simpson and his legal team awaiting the reading of his 1995 criminal trial verdict; and the 2004 brawl at Auburn Palace in Detroit involving fans and NBA basketball players from the Indiana Pistons and the Detroit Pacers. The book unfolds into a structure divided into four spaces, each housing one of the pop-up scenes. Housed in a hand-crafted box (25 x 30 x 5 cm) with grey cloth covers. Embossed on upper cover: Paper space. Colophon affixed to inside of upper cover. Edition of 40. Colophon: "Conceived by Kota Ezawa in 2011 as the seventh Artists-in-Residence project at the Imprint of the San Francisco Center for the Book."
