LE BON, Maxime
ZILCH

In banana boxes, Maxime Le Bon collects and stores a lot of documents in a jumble. Most of them are printed, cut out from newspapers, magazines, old publications, erratas, other fragments of texts and photographs. Added to this are drawings that he improvises – some of them torn or stained that he doesn’t want to display or throw away. This collection of heterogeneous items is then being rearranged and slipped into plastic pockets where he stores them. Unstable and in constant change, this improbable archive grows with the years. It sedimented layers of experiences and constitutes this heterogeneous deposit from which can emerge all sorts of fragmentary narratives and accidental arrangements. The publication ZILCH brings together a selection of A4 photocopies made by the artist from this extensive archive. [publishers’ note]
