At The French Library Get Directions
About the Book
Compositions is a hybrid work conceived on the margins of the pictorial dimension where the textual and the visual are combined in a literary book of art. It can be read or not, even though every word was carefully chosen; its works can be carefully looked at and analysed for hours or just rapidly gone through: this book is an art object that goes beyond the literary frame.
