This “object” is the result of the collaboration of three important authors who devoted themselves to different aspects of its creation. The box set is by the designer Andrea Branzi and is printed in 30 copies. The content consist of a series of poems by Matthieu Messagier and the photographic prints are by Malik Sidibé, the great African photographer who specialized in portraits that he made in his studio by placing the subjects, as in this case, in front of a backdrop.
