Specialist Notes
Original edition, difficult to find, of the work from which the collaboration between the Swiss-born poet Gilbert Clavel (1883-1927) and Fortunato Depero (1892-1960) began. It is a fantastic and visionary story in which a man revolts at an institute that offers a suicide service. The text is enriched by numerous illustrations and 8 plates on glossy paper by Depero: Decomposition of solids, Metaphysical plastic, Subterranean perspective, Mystical silence, Dynamic tour, Drinkers of death and sound cup, Magic door, Solidity and transparencies.
