• PARIS VENISE PARIS

Texts Carolyn Carlson. Photography Claude Lê-Anh.
Editions Actes Sud, 2010, price 49€
Far from the classic monograph, Venice Paris Paris is a singular album, intimate. It calls for a journey through the universe of Carolyn Carlson, whose photographs of Claude Le-Anh recreate the imagination, and share the story of an encounter, a timeless friendship.
PARIS VENISE PARIS offers a cross perspective. One of Claude Le-Anh, looking at thirty years of creation. One of Carolyn Carlson, who, through her writings and calligraphy, gives us with great sincerity her impressions and thoughts.

In collaboration with the Atelier de Paris-Carolyn Carlson

• Solo, Poèmes et encres

Poems and calligraphies Carolyn Carlson
Edition Alternatives, 2003, price 20€
The world, fate, love and death are all for Carolyn Carlson recurring themes that follow a spiritual journey reminiscent of "posture" Zen or Tao, to the bottom as in form, of a remarkable simplicity.
These illustrated poems selected from her many books, raise a corner of the veil and suggest, beyond the beauty of the texts, how the mind and spirit can generate in the work of Carolyn Carlson calligraphic sign, image, The "silent gesture", which could be the engine of other gestures to come in the course of a whole (choreography) graph.
Like the dance, no superfluous words, gestures and body are enough to "draw" certain emotions, certain "moments" to be elusive in another language: the drawings are like moving mountains.
