Bruno Hellenbosch - A mon seul désir (édition de tête with print) - Self-published 2023
In the solitude of his Molenbeek studio, Bruno Hellenbosch engraved around a hundred woodcuts corresponding to his interpretation of the Decameron, ten per day. This project has been partially shown in various locations in France and Belgium.
Layout by Sabine Dupont, À mon seul désir is told through a text written by Gérard Berréby who, using the multiple sources clearly visible on the wood and his complicity with the artist, composes a poetic articulation that teases out the references themselves and makes them say something other than what they initially meant.
A journey through time, creation and merchandise.
Published in April 2023, each cover is unique (hand-pressed).
Eight hundred copies numbered from 1 to 800 on Thai paper inserted in the book, thirty-three hand-numbered copies from I to XXXIII, each with a numbered engraving by the artist.
