"Joan Fontcuberta (b.1955) became a photographer in the 1970s. Coming from the tradition of Spanish Surrealism, he creates elaborate photographic hoaxes that challenge and provoke, forcing us to re-examine the relationship between photography and reality. The only reliable information a photograph can tell us, Foncuberta believes, is that it is just that - a photograph. Other artists in this series include: Eugene Atget, Mathew Brady, Wy ..."

"This large double issue of the Journal of the LIP traces the digressions of exegesis through a number of topographies of erudition or expression: Theometry, Eructation, Erotology and the works of Boris Vian and Alphonse Allais (with a translation of his April Foolish Album tipped in). Our guides are not necessarily native to these regions, rather they are thematic: the pataphysics of amateurism, calculation, delusion, limitation and era ..."
