Dictionnaire Illustre: Nouvelle Edition Refonde et Augmentee / Seille, Genevieve., 1996
The book is arranged in an alphabetical order and lists handwritten words in French, English, and Latin selected by Seille conforming to her own scheme of visual importance for that letter. The visual images largely consist of material gleened from periodicals of the popular press. Photocopied material from French dictionaries is used often to form a background for Seille's handwritten lists. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
Livre d'Architecture Fluide, 1992
The dark brown covers of this book have been collaged, crumpled and heavily varnished by Seille to create a unique artist binding, The endpapers consist of fluid calligraphic writing in an unrecognizable alphabet, written in black paint reminiscent of Chinese calligraphy. The pages are collaged with the artist's unique drawings consisting of images, numbers, surrealistic drawings and organic structures. The pages are varnished such that a crunchy sound is emitted upon turning the pages. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
Observationes Anatomicae / Seille, Genevieve., 1989
Cover has series of numbers written by artist. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
Observationes Anatomicae Vol 33 / Seille, Genevieve., 1989
This book depicts typical imagery of Seille's work, viz. surrealistic, impossibly constructed, human figures, automatic handwriting in different calligraphic styles, lists of numbers and labels unrelated to image or text are present in the book and on two facing pages which depict the lungs as one to four chambers in five pseudo-humanistic figures. Although the obsessive calligraphy and strange visual imagery resemble artwork done by artists in mental institutions (outsiders), Seille is not an outsider. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
