About the Item

Limited edition, numbered 2412 of 4000 copies. From the Visionaire website: Visionaire 55 SURPRISE the children’s pop-up book by adapting work from artists like Yayoi Kusama, Andreas Gursky, Guo-Qiang, Sophie Calle, Steven Klein, and Steven Meisel into three-dimensional paper sculptures. To execute the mind-bogglingly complex pop-ups, Visionaire called on renowned paper engineer Bruce Foster, who shared his infinite wisdom. “Many of these techniques had never been done before,” says Foster. “So each one was challenging in its own way.” Visionaire is an experiential agency that has been collaborating with artists, influencers, and fortune 500 companies for over 25 years. Visionaire conceptualizes and produces public art installations, film, immersive and interactive experiences, branded content, art multiples all curated through the lens of art, fashion, and contemporary culture. Visionaire was established in 1991 with its roots in limited edition publishing which has since expanded into an experiential agency. Visionaire has been collaborating with artists, influencers, and Fortune 500 companies for over 25 years; conceptualizing and producing public art installations, film, immersive and interactive experiences, branded content, and art multiples through the lens of art, fashion, and contemporary culture. "The alternative small run publication has often dazzled, always relentlessly focused on changing the way we look at the printed page. Looking haughtily over its shoulder to Fleur's Flair, Visionaire rolls up its sleeves, cups its hands to its mouth, flexes it muscles... Oh, I could go on all day... And whispers, "The eyes have it." — David Bowie

VISIONAIRE 34: Paris Hedi Slimane for Dior Homme (4994/6000) (shrink wrapped)
By Visionaire
Located in Kleinburg, ON
From the Visionaire website: Curated by Hedi Slimane, former design director of Dior Homme, 34 PARIS is in many ways a reaction to our tendency toward the baroque – one that we had just fully indulged in the previous issue, 33 TOUCH. The issue is a testament to Hedi’s reductionist aesthetic and an exploration of a burgeoning new movement: art that has its base in architecture. To this end, architect Greg Lynn designed a lacquered gray monolith with an interior topography engineered to hold the bound book as though suspended in space. Contributors include architects Neil Denari, Andreas Angelidakis, and Dominique Perrault; video artist Chris Cunningham...
