Knowledge of the World, 1999
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.
