Painful Singularities

More a collector’s treasure than a book, this exquisite combination of found photographs and beautifully poetic texts is printed on newsprintlike paper, folded, enclosed in a custom cardboard envelope and published in a signed edition of only 300. Brussels-based Jimmy Robert’s second artist book, Painful Singularities explores ideas of memories and pain, masculinity and loneliness, sexuality and sensuality. Throughout his career, in collages, drawings, films, videos and performances, Robert has dealt with the representational power of images of masculinity. Writes the artist, “Desire is gnarled: no more fever, no more limits, no more horizons, just some residual longing in the space between blue and deep blue.” Edition of 300, signed and numbered.
