This is a photographic slide taken in Zuerich in 1998.
Jean-Arthur Rimbaud was a French poet. We "re-covered" the original French edition, published in 1873. The first english translation (A season in Hell) didn't appear before 1966.
Re-cover project is an art project that consists in the creation of alternative covers for existing books. There are no pre-set criteria for the choice of books, other than being a reflection of our interests and references, and the featured photographs or snapshots are taken while out and about, only very rarely with a specific title in mind. This lends the process a spontaneous and experimental character that resurfaces in the playfulness of the final work.
