Photobook by Michel Mazzoni
Published by alt editions (Brussels) & Editions Enigmatiques (Paris)
Amorces — Photobook by Michel Mazzoni — is a project on which the artist worked for years, step by step, and sometimes at the same time that the edition of its other books. This new opus enlightens the respective genesis of the precedents as much as it shows us the quintessence of the research for the author as an artistic practice. It is a return as well as a new beginning with unexpected comings or goings. In this book, some facsimiles of scientific texts are mixing on the principle of the collision and of the echo with the photographs. The use of a thin Bible paper reveals the ghost of every image. With Amorces, the spectator is plunged into a universal experience of the “moment” or Epiphany like James Joyce said.
