About This Book

«L'esprit du temps?/?The Spirit of the Time» est un projet d'Ă©criture sur la couleur. Le poĂšte et essayiste utilise les cartes des Ă©chantillons de couleurs disponibles dans le commerce — les nuanciers de Benjamin Moore, Ralph Lauren, Behr, Earthpaint, Taubmans et d'autres — comme Ă©lĂ©ments de base pour crĂ©er une gĂ©opoĂ©sie de la ville de Sydney, en Australie.Si la couleur est un Ă©lĂ©ment de joie et de surprise, les noms inventĂ©s par les compagnies de peinture deviennent soudainement une surprise dans une surprise. En effet, que peut-on dire d'une sociĂ©tĂ© qui baptise ses couleurs de noms aussi Ă©vocateurs que Mur d'Ă©cole, Étincelle d'amour ou CroĂ»te de biscuit Graham? Quelque part, ces nouvelles appellations sont des reflets culturels, des images-miroirs de notre sociĂ©tĂ©. Elles expriment ce que nous sommes, maintenant, le Zeitgeist: l'esprit du temps.Ce livre magnifique (bilingue français / anglais) est Ă  la fois un livre de photographie, un recueil de poĂ©sie et un essai lucide mais ludique sur notre sociĂ©tĂ© matĂ©rialiste. Il a Ă©tĂ© produit en numĂ©rique et imprimĂ© en quantitĂ© limitĂ©e.--«The Spirit of the Time / L'esprit du temps» is a project based on colour. Taking cues from commercially available colour palettes, the poet and essayist draws inspiration from colour swatches of Benjamin Moore, Ralph Lauren, Behr, Earthpaint, Taubmans, and others. From these sources, he created a geopoetic of Sydney, Australia.If colour is an element of joy and surprise, the names invented by paint companies suddenly become surprises within surprises, explosions of possibilities. No longer bound to a limited set of descriptors, our world of colour has become Gypsy Moth, Powder Puff or Chocolate Cosmos. More than the hues, the names of colours are cultural reflections of certain moments in a timeline. They express the Zeitgeist, the way we were, the way we are, or the way we would like to be tomorrow. They are: The Spirit of the Time.This magnificent book (bilingual in French / English) is a collection of photographs and poetry, as well as a lucid but playful reading of our materialistic society. It was produced in digital format and printed in limited quantity.
