Jacques-Louis Nyst - Nous ne sommes pas des cybernautes - André de Rache 1973

This first edition is a beautiful experiment that can be described as a meta-book. The book, described by the artist on the title page as Livre de lecture contains 10 "lectures" and ends with a number of "exercice de lecture". It problematizes perception and interpretation, and does so by confronting and dialoguing with various types of images. Motifs from photographs have graphic echoes and vice versa. Photographic images interact with page layout and book format. Here the book functions as a mindful viewing exercise, but not without poetry and mystery.
