This book looks at the analogies between music and modern architecture. It evokes the idea of a score, a musical notation in which the lines indicate the pitch of the sound. Articulated on two axes, it proposes a play of super-impositions allowing the lines to intersect, thus multiplying the possible variations of collages between the images.
Edition 100+3AP, 23 x 27 cm, 16 pages b&w, binding on two sides,
silkscreen and risoprint.

This book-object is built on the theory of the “open form” of the Polish modernist architect Oskar Hansen. The rules are as follows: no hierarchy, no beginning, no end, no reading direction: the usual order of the book is upset. Inside a folded cardboard cover, the pages overlap, creating threads through the crossing and superimposition of lines. The vision is thus disturbed by unexpected “collages”.
Edition 100+3AP, 21 x 25 cm, 16 pages of b&w photographs.
Each cover is unique, cut from previous print works of the artist.

“Concrete is to construction what printing is to writing and […] tends to popularize art by making it accessible to all fortunes.”
François Coignet, pioneer of concrete, in “Bétons agglomérés appliqués à l’art de construire”, 1861 (Agglomerated concrete applied to the art of building).
