Un Livre Concevable, 2003
It is a large sheet (“une grande feuille”) folded (pliée) in four, contained in a black wrap cover (“couverture noire rempliée”) or flap cover.
The publication contains a text by Jorge Luis Borges, “La Bibliothèque de Babel” (“The Library of Babel”) — starting from Borges’s line: “Je le répète: il suffit qu’un livre soit concevable pour qu’il existe. Ce qui est impossible est seul exclu.” (I repeat: for a book to exist, it is enough for it to be conceivable. Only what is impossible is excluded.)
It is printed on offset paper, recto-verso in black and red (“impression recto verso en noir et rouge”), open (unfolded) size: 70 × 70 cm, folded size: 35 × 17.5 cm; 222 copies, all signed by the artist.s
