Guy Delisle: World Record Holders, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A funny and insightful retrospective collection from a celebrated cartoonist.
>World Record Holdersranges from wistful childhood nostalgia to chagrined post-fame encounters, touching on formally ambitious visual puns and gut-busting what-ifs. Delisle again and again shows how life is both exhilarating and embarrassing. Delisle visits an exhibition of his work in another country and is confronted by an angry spouse who blames him for destroying her marriage. A juvenile game of Bows and Arrows turns menacing as arrows shot straight up in the air turn into barely visible missiles of death. A coded message from space creates different reactions from different people--debates, dance festivals, gallery shows. Translated by Helge Dascher and Rob Aspinall.
