Issued for an exhibition by Étienne Sandorfi at Galerie 3+3, Paris, held from 17 November – 16 December 1970. The folded invitation reproduces a psychologically charged image characteristic of Sandorfi’s early period: a fragmented doll-like head interrupted by wires, mechanical elements, and surgical associations. The interior includes exhibition details alongside a short contemporary text describing the work through detachment, repetition, and a restrained form of violence.

Produced during an early moment in Sandorfi’s practice, the invitation already suggests themes that would later remain central to his work: psychological tension, constructed bodies, precision, and the unstable boundary between figuration and disturbance. The image sits somewhere between portrait, object, and staged condition.

The invitation remains as a retained exhibition document from a particular Paris moment. Exhibition notice, image support, and secondary object.
