Finished the original art works for this project. Still have to make the 16 edition, so be patient. Choose as tribute artist Henri-+ MICHAUX, each Vispo is connected with letter of his name H M I C H A U X and a quote from his writings I translated from the French. Those who are familiar with VISPO will understand immediately why I choose these reflections from the Jasmin Man (Unica Zurn’s positive love model was Michaux; the negative however was the man with whom she was living: Hans Bellmer whom she called the garbage man; As a man I have always find this extremely difficult to understand: why women choose to live with their torturers instead with the ones they really love and admire but that is not part of the reflections of my contribution; I repeat below the quotes by Michaux in case you cannot read them well:

Drugs bore us with their promised paradise.

That they give us wisdom instead because we are not living

a century away from paradise.

Henri Michaux

Once I was a word that tried to move with the speed of thought

Henri Michaux

I started drawing to liberate myself from words

Henri Michaux

In the night in the night I was one with the night

in a night without limits in the night

Henri Michaux

It is wrong to think that thought can be expressed by words.

They are not satisfactory ways of expressions!

Gestures, mime, sounds, lines and colors,

those are primitive, pure and direct ways of expression.

Henri Michaux

Draw without any particular intention,

doodle machinewise,

almost always faces appear on paper

Henri Michaux

Mankind, look to yourself in the mirror of paper

Henri Michaux

Faces of childhood, faces that do not believe

that everything is solved by the passage to becoming adult

Henri Michaux

Received my very first chapter for the vispo book from Katerina!! I love what you've done Kat and i see certain wonderful trashbook elements in it.
