During a residency at the MusVerre, Jean-Baptiste Sibertin-Blanc developed a project bringing together glass and writing, space and architecture. This book presents the highlights of this residency, which gave birth to a glass alphabet. The formal realities of each letter were confronted with the inherent expression of the four techniques chosen: glass bending, flame glass, glass paste and glass blowing. The letter is by definition a living two-dimensional object, endowed with rules of extreme rigour. The passage into volume opens up new ways of reading the balance of the letters, of perceiving the fullness and emptiness accentuated by the transparency of the glass. These letters become pieces of a puzzle offering new perceptions. Sibertin-Blanc's glass alphabet, like a script, reveals reversal and sobriety, rigour and deconstruction, evidence and eloquence. The book is accompanied by texts by Jean-Baptiste Sibertin-Blanc, glass artist Antoine Leperlier, philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy, typographer and director of the Atelier National de Recherche Typographique Thomas Huot-Marchand, writer Dominique Sampiero and portraits of glassmakers.
