The silkscreens exhibited in Villa Paloma’s Table des Matières are a selection of book covers to be published by Éditions Tripé.

In Adâo (Adam) Étienne Disur recounts the first days of the first woman, while O ‘obsoletismo (Obsolescence) is a group work by people who study the subject. Absurdo (Absurd) is another fruitless and useless attempt to re-establish the truth about the beginning, while Tratado De ‘Patafisica Aplicada (Treatise on Applied Pataphysics) is a book so obviously necessary that it is difficult to understand why it does not already exist.

Mattia Denisse was born in Blois in 1967, the birthplace of the magician Robert-Houdin, the inventor of the steam-machine Denis Papin, and of René Guénon, the denouncer of hermetic and esoteric thought. He moved to Lisbon in the early 2000s where he lives today, on friendly terms with many Portuguese artists, such as João Maria Gusmão and Pedro Paiva, for whom he produced the anthology of texts in the book that celebrated the Portuguese pavilion at the 2011 Venice Biennale. More recently, he has had an exhibition at the GAK in Bremen (Germany) and published the incomplete catalogue of Éditions Tripé titled K contra K with Dois Dias. He is currently exhibiting at the West Den Haag in The Hague (Netherlands).

He has also been invited to illustrate the NMNM’s new mediation programme, Regardez Voir.
