CRUZEIRO SEIXAS "DIARY NOT DIARY" 

Composed from two homonymous notebooks made between 2010 and 2012, "Diary not Diary" (Diário Não Diário) brings together, over 176 pages, a selection of unpublished texts from Cruzeiro Seixas's diaries, quotes, photographs of the artist and his friends, collages, drawings and paintings of the author and numerous letters and documents also unpublished.

To enhance the characteristics and simbolism of this album, reproductions of 5 paintings were manually glued, which folded contain several readings, 26 photographs, 1 poem, 1 invitation with envelope and 3 postcards. The original page design was respected and all changes were directed by the artist.
With manual binding and with album-case, this is a limited edition of only 98 numbered and signed copies.
Each book includes an equally numbered and signed screenprint.
