"This exhibition is a poetic, abstract and fragile attempt to translate something of our time. Something undefinable, intangible, but which we recognise as the state of one man, of several or of all: being in suspense. What is shown here is the suspense of men relegated outside history, outside the landscape, surviving in a political no man's land: deserted territories, bodies at a standstill, isolated or swept away, without anchorage. The space has closed up. The faces have disappeared, and so has the complicity of looks." — Diane Dufour. Borrowing the plainness of the monochrome fanzine, the publication unfolds as a continuous flow of pictures, like a suspended trace of the works in the exhibition; extracts from Un ABC de la barbarie, Jacques-Henri Michot's inventory of the stereotypes of media language that contaminate daily life, filter through the pages.
