Artist in Residence 2025 in the Library of the Institute Français, London.

Delighted to be Artist in Residence 2025 in the Library of the Institute Français, Kensington. I’m looking at Georges Perec’s fascinating Oulipo tour de force La vie mode d’emploi, Life-A User’s Manual, examining the postcards mentioned in it, and the places in London that Perec includes in the stories. With many thanks to the Librarians of the Médiathèque.

AMBruno Finale

I enjoyed performing my book Finale or the Death of the Author at the launch of AMBruno’s final project, the grand finale. Costume and props worked well. The death of the author is the birth of the reader…
and, great news, the project books have all been bought by the British Library.
