Pierre Escot

The transposition of an exhibition into a book format, spatialising concrete poetry on the page (artist's book).

Written in one night, at the age of 21 by Pierre Escot, Piotr is the possible inner monologue of an actor, struggling with the omnipresence of his character, alternately heroic or cruel. A fight with himself, with his double, both inspiring and paralyzing. A text that Denis Lavant created in a reading at the Théâtre Ouvert in 1989 and who signs the afterword here.

The first book written by Pierre Escot at the beginning of the 1980s, never published before, intertwines several stories in poetic and narrative fragments.
