Do rooftops touch the sky? (2025) is a collaborative, two-part publication by Sofie Hodara and Zoleigh Borg. Using a shared iCloud folder, they collected photographs of rooftops from contrasting perspectives: Borg captured images from the ground looking up, while Hodara photographed from a higher vantage point, looking down onto rooftops and out into the skyline.
Each selected ten photographs from the shared folder and, in an accordion-style book, curated a sequence of images responding to the question: Do rooftops touch the sky? Hodara’s book unfolds horizontally, guiding viewers to follow a single horizontal line across the entire book. Borg’s book is vertical; as the viewer flips through the spreads, they descend from one vista tothe next as if passing through Alice in Wonderland-like portals. Printed in Fluorescent Orange and Blue on a Risograph MH9450U, both books depict urban landscapes—buildings, windows, and clouds—without any reference to the ground.
This project was part of the Unfolding Library, curated by Tricia Treacy and Denise Bookwalter. Curators prompted artists and designers to make a new artist book (in the broadest interpretation) within 6 weeks about a passage of time. This collection of book objects launched in April 2025 at the Bergen Art Book Fair in Norway.
