Visual poetry

Commissioned for "The Beauty in Breathing" exhibition. Drawings, booklet and cards are inserted into sleeve pages formed by partial fastening with paper tape.

Seille lists words in French and English relating to breathing on cards but the major text on the pages on lung anatomy and disease is taken from Latin writings of Pliny, e.g. "a heavy cold clears up if the sufferer kisses a mule's muzzle." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
