Weathered Pages: Artists’ Books and Ecocritical Materialities
This article explores the contemporary artist’s book as a site of ecocritical enquiry. More specifically, it takes a deep dive into three works that offer meditations on human entanglements with weather: Roni Horn’s Weather Reports You (2007), Jeremy Deller’s Speak to the Earth and It Will Tell You...

Cet article présente le livre d’artiste contemporain comme espace d’investigation écocritique. Il propose une analyse de trois ouvrages qui offrent une réflexion sur l’intrication des liens entre l’humain et le temps (météorologique) : Weather Reports You de Roni Horn (2007), Speak to the Earth and It Will Tell You de Jeremy Deller (2007-17) et Weather Forecast de Marina Kampka (2014). Ces livres révèlent de manière significative les liens complexes et interdépendants qui unissent agents matériels et narratifs dans la mise en récit des systèmes environnementaux que nous désignons par le terme de « météorologie ». Cet article repose sur le principe que ces échanges sont rendus possibles et amplifiés par le livre. La page offre une surface d’expression narrative d’autant plus riche qu’elle est renforcée par sa propre matérialité au sein du livre et des réseaux complexes de production et de circulation dans lesquels elle se situe, jouant le rôle d’une sorte de seuil ou d'interface poreuse entre les mondes humain et autres qu’humain. |
