Livre d'Architecture Fluide, 1992
Scope and Contents
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.
