Bad Liver and a Broken Heart (1ère éd.)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

"The origin of this work of self-fiction can be found in one of São Trindade’s sketchbooks, this one entirely devoted to the subject of loss or decadence. With references to the aesthetics of crime scenes and nightlife photographed by Weegee in New York in the 1930 and 1940’s, the device is simple: in a "real décor," São Trindade’s body, abandonned and unconscious, is photographed. The body is always the same but differently ‘prepared’ and ‘composed’ with new dresses, new gestures, new signs of a recent activity or a different personality. Each image has its particular story and each space is a sounding board for each of these performative states of body."

Bad Liver and a Broken Heart is the first book of the Portuguese visual artist São Trindade (1960).

Bad liver and a broken heart est un livre surprenant de part sa conception et sa présentation. Le livre n'est pas relié, les pages peuvent être réorganisées, et la lecture des images est multiple car on découvre une espèce de charade ou de labyrinthe dans les doubles-pages.

Au-delà des images et du concept graphique et de narration, ce petit livre est un très bel objet imprimé au Risograph.
