La Nuit Épuisée: poïétique d’une insomnie collective

La Nuit Épuisée, poietic of a collective insomnia La Nuit Épuisée (2018), project on the initiative of Antoine d’Agata and Lea Bismuth, comes from a collective writing experience which tooks place during a sleepless night; consequently, it allows us to see the visual and textual marks left by the night on this photoliteracy silkscreened book. By analysing this work and each of his twelve leporelli, we can, like its authors, see what it’s only perceptible into the night. As much as poietic is, according to René Passeron, the science of the dynamic relationship between an artist and its artwork while he is struggling with it, this article analyses the context of creation of this book (a collective insomnia in a nightclub) and how it affects the plasticity and the writing of a book which intends to propose us a reading experience.
