A brussels based architecture editor bewitched by the capacity of built matter to mark both, physical spaces and territories of memory. With a main focus around themes such as time, permanence and corporeality in architecture. Paper Menhirs is interested in the making of the book, in the traces left by the process and in the value of archives.
[...] "the book will kill the building" [...]* Paper was depicted by Victor Hugo in Notre Dame de Paris as the killer of Architecture. In his "Ceci tuera cela" disgression, Hugo explains that the perennity and steadiness of buildings, on which humanity have relied during millennials, have been slowly replaced by the ubiquity of print. Architecture had been disposessed of its artistic monopoly.
This screen will kill the Paper and the Menhir. Things have changed now, buildings and books are now both foes of the ethereal digital world. Their differences are now blurred by their capacity of physicality against the invisible cybernetic matter. Paper Menhirs appears as a ballroom of analog, where editorial projects of paper and stone are invited to perpetuate their danced duet of death.
Paper Menhirs works in english, spanish, french and german •
