A composite publication, articulated in several volumes and a leporello, which explores different printing techniques and invites to reflect on the transition from horizontal to vertical, from linear to three-dimensional and on movement as converging time and space. Preserving their autonomy, items intersect, meet and divide at once, while their editing and sense vary according to how readers connect words and images. They propose a critique of the power structures (architecture, urbanism) that influences social relations and permeates the landscape. With Peter Downsbrough’s edition, AVARIE’s interest in instances of emptiness and (dis)appearance continues, together with the search for new forms of independence and resistance. Once the body has disappeared from the representation, the image stays alone, independent of reality, which it modifies and subverts in the heterotopic space of the book, making visible, with a displacement of the point of view, what is normally invisible due to an inability to see. If the utopian image is a subversive image, subversion is in turn utopian yet continuously desirable, intrinsic to humans: one cannot stop imagining even in the awareness that the image will remain the incomplete and fragmentary sign of an absent space.
