Showing results for "Arts" in Hard Science Fiction

Dans la collection Ristretto des Éditions Vivat, Boris Parmeland propose un voyage bref et saisissant au cœur de ce que l'art a de plus fugitif. Ephem'art capte le frisson d'un instant et interroge la trace de ce qui passe, avant de s'évanouir. En format concentré, à écouter d'une traite ou par petites touches, cette méditation sensible offre une parenthèse intense, où l'attention se fait regard, et le regard, émotion. Un écrin sonore qui donne envie de revenir, encore, à ce qui passe - et à ce qui reste.
