Giuliana Prucca, founder and artistic director of AVARIE, is thrilled to sign her book Devenir minéral, a critical essay on mineral matter in art and literature, published by L’éditeur du dimanche.
Looking forward to meeting you on Saturday, November 15, at 6 pm, at Leporello’s table, during Polycopies, the photography book fair taking place from November 12 to 16, 2025, aboard the Concorde-Atlantique boat and along the Seine River banks, as part of Paris Photo.
Echoing Jean Dubuffet's idea that thought should arise from material in artistic practice, Giuliana Prucca reinterprets a moment in the history of 20th-century art using materials such as stone, sand, earth, and dust to illustrate that the creative act would be a trace of the body's disappearance.
Building on Antonin Artaud's influence, she establishes critical and poetic connections between the texts and works of various artists, writers, and thinkers, spanning from Dubuffet to Fabre, Kiefer, Klein, Gutaï, Bousquet, Bryen, Ponge, Bachelard, Deleuze, Bataille, and Warburg. Questioning the arbitrary linearity of a conventionally assimilated art history, she applies the principles of poetry to criticism, creating a critically inventive approach that celebrates anti-critique.
The essay disrupts traditional reading habits and challenges the conservatism of art criticism by inhabiting writing space differently, providing a physically engaging experience.

Created in 2014, Polycopies is an non-profit for the distribution and promotion of independent photographic publishing (books, multiples, paper objects and experimental publishing practices).
Every year, to coincide with Paris-Photo, Polycopies organizes its festival and transforms the Concorde-Atlantique boat and the quays of the Seine in front of it, into a large ephemeral bookshop fully dedicated to photography books.
A host of events, round tables, signings, professional meetings, portfolio readings, Polycopies has become a meeting place for many amateurs, collectors, authors and publishers who like to share and confront their ideas on photography practices, understand the stakes of publishing, exchange their discoveries and favorite books, or submit dummies and see new projects being initiated.
