In Birth (for Elisa), an artist's book for children, Delphine Chapuis-Schmitz playfully combines organic shapes in fluorescent watercolours with primary sounds.
The decal letters and splashes of colour that evolve over the pages evoke the first moments of a form coming to life—or is it a life taking shape? While open to interpretation and personal reading, the book echoes a conceptual and a visual birth, as it is the first to be released by eeeditions. Delphine Chapuis-Schmitz has dedicated her book to her daughter.
Delphine Chapuis-Schmitz (born 1979 in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, lives in Zurich, Switzerland) is a Franco-Swiss
artist-writer-researcher whose practice centers on writing. This practice is process-based and crystalizes in various formats such as (online)-publications, installations and lecture performances in the context of exhibitions, collective research, translations, workshops. It unfolds in collective and collaborative constellations between languages and disciplinary fields.
