Our books highlight singular, humble, and socially and politically conscious perspectives while keeping at their core the question of images, signs, and their printed reproductions.
Covers and interior pages of Histoires de Martin, Lindan Martin.
Martin is too lazy and never leaves his house until a cyst grows between his toes and hums him a ridiculous nursery rhyme. This silly event pulls him out of his stupor and pushes him to leave the sordid town he lives in. He arrives in a mundane village and meets Théo.
Histoires de Martin is Lindan Martin's first published text. Lindan was born in 1992 and lives in Marseille.
Each copy is unique.
