EAU - Entre Messie et Deluge
EAU - EDITIONS ANTI UTOPIA — Bruce Witsiepe and Nadia Coen embark on a series of one-on-one collaborations under the new name of EAU - (Editions Anti-Utopia and / or “water”). Their most visible collaboration is a limited edition book called “Entre Messie et Deluge” or“How to Philosophize with a Saw”, which fuses both of their writings into one voice. With three bound original etchings and two diagrams, this book pays hommage to the early european literary books and philosophical writers. The book is bound with French folded pages, which the reader is asked to tear open in order to experience.
