Zzz. the publishing house of graphic design duo Bizzari-Rodriguez
Between June and July 2024, the Zzz publishing house is in residence at Aperto.
Zzz is a publishing house founded by Thomas Bizzarri and Alain Rodriguez (Bizzarri-Rodriguez). It claims no editorial policy, other than to explore the potential narratives offered by the book object, and to thwart the typologies and archetypes that traditionally govern its form and structure.
Its first book, Un'fold (working title), by artist David Douard, will be published in autumn 2024. It will be an immersion in the circulation of language, words and images within his work. Where everything interpenetrates, like a never-finished fanzine-always ongoing-these flows intermingle, agglomerating works, collages, research, sources and references, notes, personal archives and other motifs in gestation. The book shows and renews, fixes as much as it modifies David Douard's work, translating the energies that run through and articulate his practice. Author Nina Kennel's text circulates within the object, insinuating itself into its very materiality.
As a preliminary to their first publication on David Douard's work in the autumn, in July they will publish a zine based on the artist's personal poem and photographs.
