O volume cont\u00e9m 132 p\u00e1ginas, 87 fotografias, 17 reviravoltas e 39 partes engra\u00e7adas. O texto da sobrecapa d\u00e1 algumas ideias sobre o conte\u00fado e onde eu queria ir com ele: \u201cEm 1998, pouco antes da campanha Eat The Rich, Rogue Savage \u00e9 contratado pelo sinistro Doutor Francisco para encontrar um misterioso p\u00e1ssaro grande. O irm\u00e3o g\u00eameo de Rogue, Rusty, o famoso egipt\u00f3logo, desaparece. A ador\u00e1vel e inteligente professora Katherine, professora de v\u00e1rias l\u00ednguas, guiar\u00e1 e talvez ensinar\u00e1 a Rogue o mist\u00e9rio das sombras por tr\u00e1s dos Sigma Parlors. Este conto magistral de intriga e suspense, muitas vezes parece ir a lugar nenhum e, eventualmente \u00e9 isso que acontece. &#8220;Novamente, como acontece com <em>Life in a Book<\/em>, meu objetivo \u00e9 tratar ideias s\u00e9rias de uma forma divertida. O livro lida com quest\u00f5es relativas \u00e0 luta pelo poder entre o Primeiro Mundo e o Mundo em Desenvolvimento. O insight culminante e a mensagem central do livro \u00e9 que todo poder \u00e9 baseado na separa\u00e7\u00e3o. A chave para a narrativa \u00e9 o Papiro do Palha\u00e7o, um documento de piadas de 2000 anos, que serve como um \u00edndice visual para toda a hist\u00f3ria, j\u00e1 que todos os desenhos no papiro s\u00e3o baseados em fotografias do livro. O hier\u00f3glifo \u00e9 o s\u00edmbolo perfeito para um livro de artista que usa imagens para criar significado, como qualquer ideograma faz. Desde que me lembro, queria contar uma hist\u00f3ria com imagens e fotografias. Isso remonta a ler os livros ilustrados de Tintin que um amigo franc\u00eas dos meus pais me trouxe quando eu tinha nove anos de idade. Esses livros n\u00e3o apenas me impulsionaram a um interesse pela justaposi\u00e7\u00e3o de palavras-imagens, mas tamb\u00e9m me inspiraram a viajar para lugares como a selva amaz\u00f4nica, o Egito, a \u00cdndia, a Indon\u00e9sia e v\u00e1rias ilhas remotas do Pac\u00edfico. A partir dessas aventuras fotogr\u00e1ficas, aprendi muito sobre pol\u00edtica e outros modos de vida. Fui criado bil\u00edng\u00fce e passei anos em um liceu franc\u00eas, estudando latim, espanhol e alem\u00e3o. Essa experi\u00eancia com a fungibilidade das palavras para descrever uma experi\u00eancia influenciou minha vis\u00e3o de comunica\u00e7\u00e3o nos livros de artista. Outra influ\u00eancia importante, embora mais conflituosa, foi meu estudo da matem\u00e1tica culminando na busca de um doutorado. Meu pai era um cientista te\u00f3rico e me encorajou neste estudo que eu n\u00e3o gostei. No entanto, acredito que o delicado equil\u00edbrio entre a busca pela verdade e a eleg\u00e2ncia na matem\u00e1tica \u00e9 uma preocupa\u00e7\u00e3o est\u00e9tica profunda. Espero em meus livros fazer o mesmo tipo de argumentos fundamentados para novas formas de olhar a cultura e as estruturas pol\u00edticas.<\/p>\n<p>The Return of the Slapstick Papyrus is a visual detective novel which addresses issues concerning imagery and power. The volume contains 132 pages, 87 photographs, 17 odd-plot twists, and 39 funny parts. The jacket copy gives some ideas as to the content and where I wanted to go with it: \u201cIn 1998, just before the Eat the Rich Campaign, Rogue Savage is hired by the sinister Doctor Francisco to trace a mysterious large bird. Rogue\u2019s twin brother Rusty, the notorious Egyptologist, disappears. The lovely and intelligent Professor Katherine, mistress of many languages, will guide and perhaps teach Rogue the mystery of the shadows behind the Sigma Parlors. This masterful tale of intrigue and suspense often appears to go nowhere and eventually does.\u201d Again, as with Life in a Book, my purpose is to treat serious ideas in an entertaining manner. The book grapples with issues concerning the power struggle between the First World and the Developing World. The culminating insight and the central message of the book is that all power is based on separation. The key to the narrative is the Slapstick Papyrus, a document of 2000 year old jokes, which serves as a visual index to the entire story since all the drawings in the papyrus are based on photographs in the book. The hieroglyph is the perfect symbol for a visual artists\u2019 book which uses imagery to create meaning, much as any ideograph does. Since I can remember, I have wanted to tell a story with images and photographs. This goes back to reading the illustrated Tintin books that a French friend of my parents brought me when I was nine years old. These books not only propelled me to an interest in word-image juxtaposition but also inspired me to travel to such places as the Amazon Jungle, Egypt, India, Indonesia, and various remote Pacific islands. From these photographic adventures, I learned an enormous amount about politics and other ways of living. I was raised bilingually and spent years in a French lyc\u00e9e, further studying Latin, Spanish and German. This experience with the fungibility of words to describe an experience has informed my vision for communication in artists\u2019 books. Another important, though more conflicted influence, was my study of mathematics culminating in the pursuit of a doctoral degree. My father was a theoretical scientist and encouraged me in this study which I rather disliked. However, I believe that the delicate balance between the quest for truth and elegance in mathematics is a deep aesthetic concern. I hope in my books to make the same sort of reasoned arguments for new ways of looking at culture and political structures.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.artistsbooksonline.org\/works\/rosp.xml<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/bookstore.vsw.org\/product\/the-return-of-the-slapstick-papyrus-francois-deschamps<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.printedmatter.org\/catalog\/4897\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fran\u00e7ois Deschamps The Return of the Slapstick Papyrus Nova York, Visual Studies Workshop, 1988 19 x 19 cm. 123 p.
