DESCRIPTION:
|
over seven years Boetti worked with Anne-Marie Sauzeau on this book. The desire to reduce the world to the binary logic of 'right or wrong' may well be an acrobatic feat of highly refined, abstract intelligence but it is knowledge that bypasses the world. At the time the world’s rivers haven't been measure and measurements fluctuated substantially, regarding not only the source, but even the course and the mouth of the rivers. Fluctuations up to 100 miles in length were no exception. In the book each page is devoted to one river with a factual list of its technical data. The book conveys metaphor, process, reality.
