Xerografia
Bruno Munari
£32.00 Add to Cart
A faithful facsimile of Bruno Munari’s rare 1970 artist’s book Xerografia, originally produced by Rank Xerox for the XXXV Venice Biennale. Issued as a non-commercial publication documenting Munari’s experiments with the Xerox 914 photocopier, the original edition was never intended for retail distribution and remains exceptionally scarce today.
Beginning in 1963, Munari used the Xerox 914 not simply as a copying device but as an artistic instrument, at a moment when photocopying was still a novel technology. By moving images during the scanning process, he transformed a commercial office machine into a tool for image-making, exploring movement, repetition, and chance while challenging traditional ideas of artistic production.
Through this process, Munari championed the idea that new technologies could democratise artistic production, making creativity more accessible and opening up new possibilities for visual expression beyond conventional methods and materials.
