“Pie Bible” is an adaptation of a fictitious book from the American motion picture “American Pie”: a collection of experiences, tips, and impressions regarding love and sexuality.
In the film the book circulates at a high school. From year to year it gets handed on to a chosen and “worthy” pupil who can extend it by adding his own contribution. In order to create “Pie Bible”, M+M asked a selection of artists to reveal personal experiences, artful techniques and fantasies which explore the secret realms of sensual passion and erotic depths.
The “Pie Bible’s” design is inspired by bible editions and hymn books. This erotic compendium was printed in the style of a facsimile.
