The artists created this artist's book during an editing residency at Centre SAGAMIE in Alma, Quebec. The book's content, consisting of fragments of text and drawings, presents both the city and one of its inhabitants, along with their respective deconstructions.
Unbuilding the City also means contributing to the slow deconstruction of a city made of paper buildings. This book, as a singular object, is part of a whole made of stacked copies recreating the buildings of a city. It becomes a stratum of buildings and an extract from the lives of its inhabitants. By purchasing a book, the reader will have to remove a copy from this model of the city and thus contribute to its deconstruction.
