Arrange the space, decorate the places
Arrange the space, decorate the places
This book, entitled Arranging space, decorating places, composed by Michel Guérin,
is the first issue (notebook #01) of the “Arrangements” collection
Athom editions. It consists of three texts: the first entitled “The secret of
the adornment"; the second "Arrangements with the sky"; the third is a long
interview given by the author to Olivier Koettlitz of Athom editions.
Michel Guérin clarifies with this sentence the aims of this new essay: "In
intersection of theological, anthropological, aesthetic or
philosophical, I am trying here to return to the notions of ornament and decoration
a meaning both deep and ancient that a certain modern usage has rendered, to the
letter, superficial and whose power he ignores, which he nevertheless exercises and
values as a distant heir.
