Collaboration horizontale #[nn]

Published by Delcourt under their Mirages imprint in 2017, Collaboration Horizontale announces itself with a cover of striking visual poetry by Carole Maurel: a woman's silhouette dominates the foreground, her darkened profile revealing an anatomical heart threaded with root-like veins at her chest, while behind her, warmly lit apartment windows show shadowy figures living out their own private dramas. Writer Navie and artist Carole Maurel frame an intimate, emotionally charged world where the personal and the historical seem inextricably entwined. It's a beautifully composed image that rewards a long look before you've even turned the first page.
