Paris
by Moï Ver
Edition 7L
Moï Ver's quintessential avant-garde book object, Paris, published in 1931, blends dynamic photographic montage with an elaborate graphic layout. Utilizing the double page spread as one unified plane, each turn of the page not only surprises, but accentuates the charged rhythm built into the book.
The bulk of information in these pictures documents mundane street activities in cobblestoned Paris of the late twenties. But Moï Ver's kaleidoscopic layering and frenzied repetitiveness emphasizes an experimental approach to picture-construction: akin to bombarding the viewer with noise and reflected light. Within each picture, visual data is spliced with pattern, alluding to a lapse of time, as if they were short film vignettes.
