Description
Les Épiphanies is one of Faucheux’s early book designs. According to Richard Hollis, the book’s text had been laid out in manuscript form by the author, Henri Pichette, as concrete poetry. Using this original layout, Faucheux re-pasted and re-spaced every line. Its originality consisted in its substitution of symbols for words — typographic elements and bold letters found in a printer’s typecase replaced the characters’ names.
