MICHEL MAZZONI - Craft

Book launch Friday Nov 21, 6:30pm
In collaboration with MER.Books

Focused on the questions of image-making and image display, Craft is an artist’s book made up ofa substantial body of images that, directly or indirectly, engage with the notion of fabrication —manufactured objects, compositional experiments, architectural forms and more. Blendingphotographs, exhibition views and archival material, this book has the particularity of having beenconceived in close collaboration between the publisher, the artist and the author, giving newmeaning to the reading and apprehension of the images, through the implementation of echophenomena, correspondences, extensions, even mise en abyme, between the visuals and theaccompanying textual data.

For Michel Mazzoni, this latest work arose from a desire to share hispractice differently — by revealing how his thinking and creative process evolve across the pages,as they naturally do throughout the books and exhibitions he creates.
