Disappearing is the artist’s most recent meditation on how the world is seen, and shown. In an introduction, Bice Curiger says that “Cucchi writes not poetry but instructions.” But with diffidence. This free-fall of verbal imagery subtly illuminates his painting. Published in two slim and elegant volumes, the original Italian bound separately, the German and English translations together.

Contains a text by Enzo Cucchi, a poetic manifesto. There are two small volumes. Volume I: Original text in Italian with two reproductions of drawings by the artist. 15 pages. Volume II: Translations in English and German with an epilogue by Bice Curiger. 30 pages. An elastic band holds the two volumes together.
