Infestation
Michaux's book of drawings and texts was originally published in 1948, and apart from a couple of reprints in French, this edition marks the first english translation of this rare work. Here, Michaux is found pushing the limits of his magical, associative prose to sublime heights. Essentially a science fiction experiment, this book describes the life-cycle of the fictional Meidosems--spindly, emotionally vulnerable little creatures who look a little like strands of DNA--as they fall in love, suffer demons, and ultimately try to survive in a hostile gravity-less world. Us usual, Michaux is able to write from "inside" this subject, imbuing this text with an appropriately other-worldly quality that works to emerge the reader in this strange world. The interplay between the vaprous writing and the scratchy, yet representational, drawings brings this work alive. Moving Parts press have done amazing work here by putting this book out. This edition is a beautiful, rare art-book that will make you wish there were more like this out there. ... Read more

Product Description
Henri Michaux is both a recognised poet and visual artist, arguably one of the greatest 'double artists' of the twentieth century. This book presents the first detailed examination of a particular interdisciplinary aspect of his production, namely, the innovative experimentation with signs contained in four works: Mouvements, Par la voie des rythmes, Saisir and Par des traits. Questions arise concerning their literary and visual status as, in their attempt to render interior rhythm and dynamism, they occupy an interstitial space between writing and drawing, between the book and the canvas, between the Western alphabet and Chinese characters. This study addresses these questions by analysing the conception, production and reception of Michaux's signs and the literary and artistic contexts in which they were produced. ... Read more
