Summary:
In late 1960 Michael Snow made several naturalistic flat cut-out cardboard figures which used the/a wall as their background. In early 1961, to make one of these, he drew—then cut out with a matte knife—a side view of a female figure walking, 152 cm tall, within a drawn rectangle on a piece of cardboard. All his work between 1961 and 1967 used the outline or silhouette of the original cut-out as both tool and subject. "Biographie" is a 2004 The Walking Woman work which consists of the juxtaposition and the many-sided sequential ordering of a selection from these deliberate, inadvertent, and by-chance photographic documents. It is a Finnegan’s Wake, non-chronological biography. / À la fin des années 1960, Michael Snow réalisa plusieurs découpages naturalistes de figurines en carton en utilisant le mur comme arrière plan. Au début de 1961, il dessina, puis découpa la silhouette de profil d’une femme marchant, haute de 152 cm, dans un morceau de carton.Tout son travail, entre 1961 et 1967, utilise le profil ou la silhouette de la découpe originale aussi bien comme outil que comme sujet. Le livre "Biographie" est un livre d’artiste qui consiste en la juxtaposition et l’ordonnancement séquentiel de documents photographiques délibérés, inopinés ou aléatoires, conjuguant les apparitions ordinaires et sublimes de La femme qui marche. C’est une biographie non chronologique à la Finnegan’s Wake.
