The Bestiary of Love

The book entitled The Bestiary of Love contains 15 animal etchings in colour. It proposes a playful approach to Richard de Fournival’s 13th century text Bestiary of Love, by developing a lexicon attributing colours to emotions.

If the reader plays the game of rewriting this lexicon to the body image, they will then give the animal the colours of its emotions. 

As the animal’s body is made up of different zones corresponding to different emotions, the completed version will reveal the complex nature of love.

In addition, 25 copies of the prints were printed independently from the book edition.
