Scope and Contents

Bouabre, visionary, priest and great purveyor of universal truths, lives and works in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, Africa. At daybreak, Thursday, March 11, 1948, Bruly Bouabre witnessed a celestial vision of seven suns in a blue sky. This vision lead him to become a prophet, teaching divine truths communicated to him in his dreams. He sends his thoughts out to the world in a minimal postcard-like format, reflecting one of the most elemental forms of mass communication. A virtual brick of his unbound images finds refuge in the fabric-covered blue box, the metaphoric reliquary for his spiritual missives. The weight and density of the book is a visible statement on the solidity and strength of his creed, of his daily art making ritual, and of his absolutely infinite reflections on humanity, society and the universe. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
