Michel Mazzoni, Craft, 2025

Focused on the questions of image-making and image display, Craft is an artist’s book made up of a substantial body of images that, directly or indirectly, engage with the notion of fabrication —manufactured objects, compositional experiments, architectural forms and more. Blending photographs, exhibition views and archival material, this book has the particularity of having been conceived in close collaboration between the publisher, the artist and the author, giving new meaning to the reading and apprehension of the images, through the implementation of echo phenomena, correspondences, extensions, even mise en abyme, between the visuals and the accompanying textual data. For Michel Mazzoni, this latest work arose from a desire to share his practice differently—by revealing how his thinking and creative process evolve across the pages, as they naturally do throughout the books and exhibitions he creates.
