6. Liquid Words, Snatched Figures, Stained Supports

Benoît Buquet

Art & Graphic Design: George Maciunas, Ed Ruscha, Sheila Levrant de Bretteville

~Sperm, water, ink, paint, perfumed dye: the pharmakon always penetrates like a liquid; it is absorbed, drunk, introduced into the inside, which it first marks with the hardness of the type, soon to invade it and inundate it with its medicine, its brew, its drink, its potion, its poison.
