Book Description

Publication Date: May 2, 2002

Description: "He left school very early on and made many spelling mistakes, he liked to brag about that." "He worked very little or at least that's what he said, he claimed that he lived a retiring life, that he spent his time in public gardens or in museums in winter because they were heated." 100 autobiographical statements like these are juxtaposed opposite 100 photo and document collages to form La Vie Impossible.
