"The book is built around a storyboard drawn by Andy Hope in 1930, in the form of a fictional autobiography. Through a series of 29 drawings, the artist recounts the journeys of a character who escapes the tribunal of abstractions he created himself in the form of an odyssey strewn with discoveries and strange encounters, which at the same time questions the relationship between figuration and abstraction. The sketchbook is placed between two blocks of images selected by the artist from the Internet. These documents act as the artist's sources of inspiration and emerge in the flow of the drawn narrative like premonitory reflections. The silver background of the screen-printed drawings replaces the transparent support of the originals and helps to dematerialize the narrative space."
A collage by Andy Hope 1930 is unique to each copy.
