Henri Chopin – The Conference of Yalta
Rare Bookavailability unknown, if interested please write an email
Henri Chopin, a pioneer of sound poetry and radical typography, brings his unique voice to the artist’s book The Conference of Yalta.
Issued in a special edition of only 26 copies, each volume includes an original typewritten poem—an authentic fragment of Chopin’s performative writing practice.
Far from a historical account, this work transforms the symbolic weight of the Yalta Conference into a field of poetic tension, deconstructed through typewriter rhythms, spatial dynamics, and textual rupture. The page becomes a sound-space, the typewriter a compositional instrument.
Chopin’s characteristic aesthetic—mechanical, raw, and physical—is present throughout. Letters scatter, cluster, or collapse into noise. In this rare edition, the original typed sheet bridges the gap between book and performance, turning each copy into a singular gesture of vocal and visual resistance.
