GODARD AVERTY. Petit et grand écran is a pretty book authored and designed by Paule Palacios-Dalens for the small French publisher Les éditions de l’œil. In this new essay the author reveals unexpected relationships of influence between these two creators who never formally met though they walked the same époque and scenaes.
From the publisher’s website:
As inventors constantly on the alert, the two men followed each other at a distance. Children of the letter and the book in the century of the image, they have in common the qualities of the printed word in their relationship to history and memory, and the permeability of media that is the norm today.
The book makes use of Borges (by Loche, PampaType) for the main texts, Borges Título Blanca for the headings, and Berthold’s Akzidenz-Grotesk (1896) for the pagination, footnotes, headings, and the like.
