After having worked on Marina Tsvetaeva's texts in travel books, drawings and fresco panels, I needed to move on to a more intimate format in which a dialogue between author and artist could take place. The artist's book offered me an excellent medium.

Published in 2016, with the support of the Imprimerie Nationale, this book is made up of five eight-page booklets, 38 x 28cm, hand-typed in Cyrillic lead lettering.

It was printed on the letterpresses of the Atelier du Livre d'Art & de l'Estampe of the Imprimerie Nationale.
The eight engravings in various techniques, ranging from soft varnish to bitumen aquatints, were printed on the presses of the Bo Halbirk workshop.
The edition comprises twenty-five copies, some of which have been bound and placed in a box.
 

Several exhibitions accompanied this edition:
History of an Artist's Book, October 2016,
National Museum of Marina Tsvetaeva, Moscow
Two Years to Make a Book, June 2017,
