Blabla

Více o knize

The French-born artists Élise Florenty's magazine-format work, blabla, is anything but blah-blah. Using only the color model CMYK (with K being black), Florenty presents a series of roles, poses and motivations. This artist's book is at once a performance and a tri-lingual poem (in a way that fundamentally destabilizes and challenges poetry as a mode); it's a collage and a confrontation, and as a statement it is all the more succinct seeing as it diverges markedly from the rest of the artist's oeuvre. An underlying leitmotif, though, is the continued engagement with language as a concrete form as well as a broad reach and depth of execution.
