John M Armleder (born in Geneva, 1948) finds inspiration in a Tibetan drawing used for an exercise in eye gymnastics; the original image is treated in negative with the choice of a solid red surround. The folding on the A6 format is accompanied by an insert, a fragment of text from the Tibetan charter. ISBN: 978-2-491549-06-0.<\/p>\n
MY HEART BELONGS TO YOU<\/em>\u00a0– Ana Jotta (born in Lisbon, 1946) works over an existing drawing dating from the nineteen-fifties, unearthed at the flea market. This echoes her own experience when Portuguese high school students were invited to make\u00a0life drawings\u00a0on Alma\u00e7o paper. The heart drawn on the vase also refers\u00a0to a traditional motif used on Portuguese artisanal pottery. APOPTOSIS<\/em> \/ William Kentridge (born in Johannesburg, 1955). The drawing of a tree on the recto, three drawings and a text on the verso, recall Kentridge\u2019s indignation at the death of a tree, a tree planted in his garden when he was a 9 year-old child. It should have lived up to a hundred or even two hundred years. The text ruminates on the inner sapling growing within us all that we hope will reach full fruition. Folded into A4 size. ISBN: 978-2-491549-08-4.<\/p>\n 69\/96<\/em> is the title of an exhibition designed by Bob Nickas, Fredi Fishli and Niels Olsen. Teo Schifferli (graphic designer born in Zurich, 1989) takes up a cover project for a catalogue edited by Patrick Frey editions, for which he designed the graphics: two rubbings from the front and back covers of the publication are taken and enlarged on A2 format.
