This artist's book contains a set of photographs of drawings and writings in which the author tries to find the link between elements of different nature, confronting their networks of forms and movements with those, more deeply buried, of force, energy and meaning. Piece number one (the jetty): black-and-white photographs, mixed reproduction technique, driftwood, thread, stone. "I am today like these ensembles, provisional and unstable aggregates. I try to find the link between elements of different nature, to confront their networks of form and movement with those, more buried, of force, energy, meaning. Each part reveals something of the whole, without the whole necessarily being the logical sum of the parts. I decide to trust sensations rather than thoughts, and so I observe the figures that build up, the materials that respond to one another: they seem to obey singular rules of elective affinities. Connections that at first seem uncertain often prove powerful." A. B.
