Surprise is such a key component of three-dimensional books that they have been mostly analysed from a spatial point of view to the detriment of temporal perspectives. For a long time, pop-up books have relied on a narrative structure that guided the reader from beginning to end. Pop-up books that do not rely heavily on narrative induce a slow temporality, based on the discovery of a form, the enchantment of the unravelling of a page and, more generally, on a sense of wonder. Rereading a pop-up book forces the readers to review the multiple moments they discovered the text. Texture also invites them to reflect upon the interaction between their body, their identity and the book.
