The magazine Cahiers D'Art 1-2, 1936, is dedicated to the surrealists. These manifest a new revolutionary view on the object. The cover was designed by Marcel Duchamp, a collage and screen print named Coeur Volants or Fluttering Hearts.
For the Facisimile I inserted new images of Marco's carriage. Marco is a recycling collector which circulates in the center from Recife. He attracts attention with his decorated carriage of found objects. The sight of it made me remember and connect to the surrealists.
Furthermore there has been added a translation of the poetic text L’habitude des Tropiques by Paul Éluard from French to Portuguese. It was my Intention to connect the magazine to the tropic life in Recife and Brazil.
