About the book
The book Coisacorpo: pequena morte is born from a series of 11 engravings created by Raquel Matsushita, in which she uses the male body as a matrix. Using a palette of three colors, the artist constructs the images by superimposing the body parts printed in monotype. From the visual narrative of la petite mort – the short and intense interval of refractory suspension after orgasm – Geruza Zelnys extracts the poetry that triggers verbal images to compose 19 homoerotic poems.
The result of the encounter between artist and poet, image and word, river and sea, thing and body is an invitation to enjoyment: to surrender to the sensorial reading of eyes that scrutinize lines and colors, of the voice that whispers syllables, of the tongue that wets the senses, of the fingers that caress pages and of the imagination that surrenders to desire. Coisacorpo: pequena morte is the Barthesian invitation to the pleasure of reading: taste me, devour me and, even so, be hungry.

About Fine Art Printing
These are those created with techniques and materials that use the most rigorous criteria today to achieve an impression with museum longevity.
The papers are 100% cotton. The inks, which are made of mineral pigments, are not soluble in water, therefore they do not fade. And the color fidelity, by using RGB, is much greater than common printing.
A work printed in fine art, therefore, deserves to be signed and numbered, and can last a lifetime.
