Kathy Slade’s Love Poem is made in homage to Michael Joseph Phillips’ “Graph of an Affair”, published in Third Assembling, a Collection of Otherwise Unpublishable Manuscripts, compiled by Richard Kostelanetz, Henry Korn, and Mike Metz in 1972. Slade’s attempts to recreate Phillips’ concrete poem were written on a Smith-Corona Skywriter manual typewriter with a faulty ribbon return and a tendency to jam. Each attempt here to complete the triangle of text has failed in a slightly different way.

Ce livre de 120 pages présente une collection de clichés publiés par Albert Laberge, figure importante mais méconnue de la littérature québécoise au début du XX^e siècle. Il s’agit d’un livre d’art dont chaque page est une estampe imprimée à partir des clichés d’origine selon les règles de l’art typographique. On y trouve des photos et des portraits d’Albert Laberge lui-même ainsi que de nombreux personnages du monde artistique de l’époque.
Ce livre a été réalisé en partenariat avec la Médiathèque littéraire Gaëtan Dostie.

At first I didn’t plan to release this book publicly. It was more an experimentation with what I learned in binding from my first book TTBD. It was a birthday gift for my friend and model Elizabeth. For three years (2016-2018) we sporadically took boudoir’s photographies together.

« this part of my photographic work is the most personal, the most difficult for me to show, to disclose …. yet some of these shots are among my favorites … is it out of demureness? because it touches the intimate … the eroticism… »

The book is hand-binded on each sides to keep it closed like a secret. To open it you will have to remove the thread of one side. Each side will offer you a different reading of the book, a different start, a different composition and flow. There is no start and finish, you can read, explore it from left to right or right to left.
