Mikado

Villers, Bernard

Regular price €180,00

An artists’ book with thin translucent pages of airmail paper featuring silkscreen-printed silhouettes of slender eucalyptus leaves in various solid colours, because of the relative transparency of the pages the leaves stack on top of one another like the sticks in a game of Mikado, thus making use of the book format to create a sense of depth, dimension or even a sculpture of sorts, the theme of dimensionality and transparency is taken further by printing the title on the verso of the title page so that it appears in mirror image on the recto side.

Soft cover, 23,5 x 22 cm, 38 not numbered pages, signed and numbered/50, Bruxelles 1994
