Everything in the world exists to end up in a book. (1)
Codex was an exhibition and a series of three public presentations that took place last October in the outdoor gallery of the Head Geneva (School of Art and Design, Geneva). Codex had both one and many objects and goals; the main one was “books,” as the title suggests, but rather than creating a specific approach in the field of art, the space presented a broad sampling of how books, emptied of their content, could be represented or used as an image, as a frame, an object, a concept, a document… Thus, although Codex functioned mostly as a répertoire, the apparent standardization of its references could be reconsidered by a more accurate approach of its content.
