Alphabet Pierre Petiot

This book is built on the results of a game based on assigning each of the participants one letter of the Alphabet, which they could graphically interpret as they wished and by the process of their choice - digital or otherwise. The idea was not to create a new typeface, but rather, for each letter, to get an interesting image containing a clearly visible alphabet letter. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following artists and poets participated in this game: Yasser Abdelkawy, J. Karl Bogartte, Bernard Dumaine, Khadah Kamal, Mohsen Elbelasy, Laura Jonak-Moechel, Yves Maquinay, Dale Houstman, James Sebor, Kent Christensen, Karl Howeth, Willem den Broeder, Shankar Barua, Uly Paya, Pierre Petiot, Zazie (Evi Moechel), Alice Massénat, Istvan Horkay, Lorna and Stephen Kirin, Pinina Podesta, Craig S. Wilson, Andrew Torch, Craig Blair, Daniel Boyer and Silvia Boyer. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Results of this game have been appended with A Surrealist Dictionary by J. Karl Bogartte (English and French versions) and two texts by Pierre Petiot Proverbiages and Lexique Étique (French versions only).
