VILLERS (André) - BUTOR (Michel). Pliages d'ombres. S.l., [1977]. - In-plano, 505 x 408 : (3 ff.), 5 photographs. Leaves, publisher's cardboard slipcase. Very rare first edition of Michel Butor's poem, accompanied by 5 large original photographs by André VILLERS (1930-2016), all numbered and signed by the photographer on the verso. Villers was a close friend of Pablo Picasso, with whom he published Diurnes in 1962. Having made numerous portraits of artists and writers, he was quick to experiment with other ways of doing photography. This book is the fruit of one of these experiments, and includes 5 photographs made from tracing or cigarette paper, folded, burned and used in negative. They are accompanied by a poem by Michel Butor, whom the artist met in 1972 through the painter Cesare Peverelli, and whose first collaboration this is. Limited edition of 95 copies on Arches vellum, numbered and signed by the author and photographer at the justification. This is one of the first 20 copies with an original pastel signed by André Villers. A very well preserved copy.
