what is the residue left from setting a black puddle on fire?

This book gather eleven poems from the short film What is the residue left from setting ablack puddle on fire? (2023)

The texts are published in their original english versions, as well as in their translation into algerian dialect and french. The original version of each monologue is printed on the front of a bellows inside which are placed two cards, one for each translation.

Foldings and bellows makes polyglossia visible and allows the three languages to coexist, to be manipulated freely, making the reading experience more immersive.The book thus proposes to integrate readers into the intimacy of the subjects.
