Born in Algeria and later based in France, his work moved between abstraction and calligraphic structures, often maintaining a close relationship with writers and publishers. By the early 1970s artist books and literary collaborations increasingly operated as parallel exhibition spaces rather than supplementary material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe object sits somewhere between bookstore notice, literary announcement and exhibition residue. It compresses several systems into a small support: author, illustrator, voice recording, place, date, circulation. Rather than documenting an artwork, it formats an encounter around one.
