Georgette LeBlanc is a well-known French-speaking Acadian author who was twice the Official Poet of Canada. Marc-Alexandre Dumoulin is a Franco-Canadian artist who lives and works in Vienna, Austria. In Près de Nemi, encore la même histoire, their text-image exchanges take place in the vicinity of rest, action, and the will to both. The undecidability of constant dusk provides a background for exploring the limits of somatic experience, where the images incite touch, texture, and uncomfortable tenderness.

entalhs… puts into words and images the gesture of the sculptor who cuts stone and that of the marble cutter in a quarry by the Mediterranean Sea. It celebrates nothingness from which a calm joy emerges. Nothingness, to which the artist-poet gives a solid form, a sculpted object, which here becomes paper.
Jaumes Privat is an author and artist from the South of France, who chose an endangered language (Occitan) because it allows him to “invent himself by inventing”
Occitan/English/French
