Catalogue Essay
Including: La lumière descent de l'ombrelle aux moissons; Précurseur crève la soie sang perçu s'emporte; S'égayant s'égratignant à l'objection; Au liège rendu par la mer; Comme midi fune un verre; Veilleuse au seuil de nos terrassements; Fureur, tu me traites comme la tristesse; Nous nous sommes portés à la rencontre des foulards; L'interdit ramait content; and La liberté détruite par l'abscence.
