Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Mirtha Dermisache LIBROS: Dispositif éditorial Florent Fajole, Centre des livres d’artistes, 4 October–20 December, 2008.
Argentinian artist Mirtha Dermisache wrote dozens of books, hundreds of letters and postcards, and countless texts. Not a single one was legible, yet, in their proximity to language, they all resonate with a mysterious potential for meaning. Using ink on paper, Dermisache invented an array of graphic languages, each with its own unique lexical and syntactic structure, laden with poetic and sometimes visceral suggestion.
