2026 'Henri Michaux & Film: Images du monde visionnaire (1963)' Dutch- and English-language book published by MER. Books. Co-authored with Steven Jacobs.
From the mid-1950s onwards, many writings and artworks by Belgian-French writer and artist Henri Michaux (1899–1984) were inspired by his experiments with hashish and mescaline. This also applies to the short film Images du monde visionnaire, which Michaux realized in 1963 in collaboration with French filmmaker Éric Duvivier for the pharmaceutical company Sandoz. Although Michaux was disappointed with the result, the film was enthusiastically received. This book focuses on the production of the film and situates Images du monde visionnaire in Michaux’s oeuvre as well as at the crossroads of abstract painting, visionary poetry, experimental cinema, and psychopharmacology.
