Edition limited to 300 numbered copies. “[Bryen] crée aussi des assemblages d’objets insolites qui poursuivent leur ‘aventure.’ En 1937, dans sa conférence sur ‘l’aventure des objets,’ (texte qu’il publie la même année), il décrit ses expériences plastiques en tenant de les interpréter lucidement. Avec humour, il appelle certains de ses objets ses ‘bryoscopies’” (Biro/Passeron). Bryen had previously collaborated with Ubac on a small book of poems and photographs in 1934, “Actuation poétique.” Here Ubac participates under the pseudonym Ubac Michelet. Text browned, as usual; a fine copy.
