Summary:
The subject of Dissections is the mechanization of man. The book which accompanies the exhibition dissects photographically four metaphorical machines which have themselves been dissected. The project is a not a sequential narrative, but a series of brief notes, sometimes closely or sometimes distantly associated with the images gathered under the title Dissections . The hero is the mythic figure of Descartes' Clown ; a neurotic and insecure robot, though also intuitive, inquisitive and courageous. The clown undertakes an auto-autopsy hoping to find his organ of existence. The robot, like Descartes, needs to prove that he actually exists.

Summary:
To talk about this project is easy, because the story of its making is so complex and the results (the public places, the houses, the feeling of civility in the air) so wonderfully rich. There is always something thoughtful and provocative to be said about Borneo Sporenburg. When one reads or hears about the vicissitudes of the project's evolution--about the long approval processes and the large cast of characters--it all seems like an excellent piece of narrative, a great plot replete with subplots leading us to intense episodes of dramatic action. There is something for everyone in the story of these peninsulas.

The book picks up where the films end, serving as both a reflection and a complement, while also creating a new narrative. Over nearly a year of editing, we felt like revisiting 20th-century San Francisco and Cuba, tracing history through the neons of Chinatown and the echoes of Cantonese opera. For the dancers and performers documented in this book, their bodies act as living archives; their memories and unspoken emotions may be concealed in their steps, fingertips, and gazes.

Trial and Error focuses on early design stages, experiments, mistakes, and unexpected turns, aligning with the magazine's core purpose: to adopt an open and non-linear process in the development of its issues. Each issue reinforces our central concept through a circular approach and the identity of the magazine is evolving with the publication of each issue. Therefore, contributors are essential to DISTIGMO's identity and voice. The articles, essays, sketches and photographs that compose each issue enrich and guide the magazine's direction and overall narrative.
