“I began to draw the nine sheets that make up this volume wondering what links could exist between text and fossil; between punctuation and sediment; between the structure of a book and that of the ground. The Anaximenes sentence that gives it its title (taken from a fairly free translation) gave me a clue: if the earth is flat like a leaf, each tabloid could contain vestiges, rocks, mineral particles; and, when folding them into themselves to form booklets, accumulating layers. All these sheets of paper, as well as the superimposed lines, propose a kind of manuscript of the earth; a palimpsest of landscapes in which each image forms a vocabulary that comes from treatises and magazines on paleontology and geology from different periods in time.”
