Editions Janninck Format: 125 x 210 mm Enclosed is a felt-tip drawing printed on restaurant tablecloth paper and enhanced by hand with lipstick. Note: Moving from the animal kingdom to the political sphere, from ecology to the world of work or war, the work of Gloria Friedmann (born in 1950 in Kronach, Germany, lives and works in Aignay-le-Duc and Paris) develops around the opposition between nature and culture. Play-Back d'Eden takes the playful form of a "monologue with a naturalized primate". Gloria Friedmann poses the eternal question of the origin of man and the origins of art. A committed artist, philosopher, humanist and environmental activist, she tackles the main contemporary issues with the frankness of a "libertine ingenue". A spontaneous style, incisive formulas illustrated by reproductions of works in which the macabre rubs shoulders with humor, and the sweetness of dreams with sinister reality. Unpublished text accompanied by a felt-tip drawing printed on restaurant tablecloth paper and enhanced by hand with lipstick.
