Terrain Glissant - Manon Cezaro

Each drawing was successively traced, digitized, and then erased. This book captures nearly 100 drawings created on a Veleda whiteboard with six colored markers. Above all, it reveals a free gesture, perhaps encouraged by the ephemeral nature of its existence as an original.

The series finds its final form only in these multiples, laid out in an object close in size to the original drawings. The glossy paper reflects the brilliance and coolness of the whiteboard, while the outer jacket wraps around a hardcover that preserves the comforting softness of uncoated paper. This cover features a cheerful bowl of fruit that has, however, lost its colors.

The smell of offset printing upon opening the book merges with the lingering memory of alcohol markers from our childhood.
