The textual material from Sommeil léger is comparable to the one found in Dominique Petitgand’s various catalogs, but here the writing takes on a life
of its own.
It breaks free from its documentary function in relation to visual art: transcriptions of sound pieces, installation descriptions, voices, notes, and texts displayed on screens give rise to a unique and specific process of editing and layout.
While Dominique Petitgand’s film sequences without images or his mental landscapes can be adapted to various modes of sound presentation (record, radio, concert, installation), his work has never before been presented so freely within the space of a book.
