Compo de rheto - Theo Cowley 
De enige kopie van het pamflet Composition de rhétorique de M. don Arlequin bevindt zich in de Bibliothèque nationale de France in Parijs. Waarschijnlijk werd het gemaakt ter gelegenheid van het huwelijk van Henry IV en Maria de Medici in Lyon 1600/01, door de acteur Tristano Martinelli, beroemd als een van de eersten die de rol van Harlekijn speelde in de theatertraditie van de commedia dell’arte. Compo de rheto werd gemaakt in samenwerking met grafisch ontwerper Salome Schmuki (afdeling Ontwerpen 2007 – 2008).

Enlever et entretenir — Eleni Kamma
Enlever et entretenir is een kunstenaarsboek van Eleni Kamma dat tot stand kwam in samenwerking met ontwerpster Salome Schmuki en kunstenares Orla Barry. Het boek is gebaseerd op een ‘natuurplakboek’ uit de jaren vijftig getiteld Entre Escaut et Meuse, met beelden en tekstuele beschrijvingen van planten en dieren en hoe mensen daar een heel eigen wereld mee maken. 

Enlever et entretenir — Eleni Kamma 
Enlever et entretenir is an artist’s book by Eleni Kamma, made in collaboration with designer Salome Schmuki and artist Orla Barry. Enlever et entretenir develops the idea of an in-between space through the format of a book. It examines how words and images can coexist and create meaning by disrupting it; how they make sense by seemingly letting meaning collapse. The book follows the format of a 1950s photo collection book titled Entre Escaut et Meuse [Between Scheldt and Meuse], in which images and textual descriptions of plants, animals and human activities coexist. In Enlever et entretenir, the coexistence occurs between gaps, empty spaces and various cultural descriptions and representations of nature, both historical and newly invented. In-between the visual stimuli, the rhythm of perception is interrupted by four manuals that examine the qualities of Number, Shape, Position, and Proportion and their relation to description via Linnaeus’ taxonomical theories. Kamma’s work investigates possibilities for a future architecture that activates rather than tolerates “other” positions. She explores persistently the inherent gaps and contradictions within existing cultural narratives and classification strategies. The book disrupts the canonical production of meaning within and via the synchronous appearance of words and images, researching the relation of the cliché, the banal and the stereotype to the formation of history and the fabrication of identities.
