This portfolio-like artist’s book, attributed to the pseudonym Marcel, takes you to an enigmatic world where a variety of characters have gathered in celebration. The randomness of risograph printing and the variation of intense colours and faint impressions accentuate the entrancing mood. The minimal text tells us little, and the book’s spider-patterned vellum pages both protect and reveal. The marbled covers of this hand-bound work of art subtly gleam. A short preface would orient the reader – or would it ruin the experience?
