The Great Ephemeral Skin
The Great Ephemeral Skin
The student jury was reserved in judging this exhibition catalogue. It led each of us to conclude the discussion as (what we called) an ‘absolute maybe’, asking ourselves whether we would like to select this book. How difficult it was to judge, in such a short time and with limited information, the design of a book with delicate subjects; skin, eroticism and exoticism. For instance, a big part of the discussion was on the specific choice of ‘pink’ paper on the text pages, which is obviously meant for the skin colour. It is an interesting comparison to Franklin. However, even with some debatable points, there is something that strongly appealed to us. The rhythm between the empty and packed pages is one of these aspects. The tactility of the paper successfully reminds us of the body. Its soft texture fits the hands well, despite the large format which reflects the size of the huge paintings by the artist. Yes, it does feel sensual, as the subtitle announces, but not explicitly. It is a ‘post exhibition’ book which one would love to get if one loves the exhibition.
