The semi-autobiographical artist's book made by Gianni Bertini, an Italian artist who developed MecArt, which recalls the pace of Pop Art but with a more explicitly critical orientation by way of postwar consumer culture. The works compiled here bring together textual fragments with stunning, highly modified images culled from magazines and popular culture. The images were restructured in a recherché mode by means of Bertini's own mechanical processes, involving screenprints and photo-reproductions. The work contains a text by French critic Noël Arnaud, who writes, "All the beings who fed our dreams, or the dullest hours of our sight, after which we sighed, or whom we reproached, and whom we pleasurably banished to the closets of fiction, are brought here to real existence by the demonic grace of Bertini.".

Signed by the author and stamped with his fingerprint on page the initial blank. 8 plates, 3 of which mounted, and 1 inserted leaf, text in Italian and French. [52] pp. 11 5?8 in x 9 1?4 in.
