{Big idea from small project}
Sometimes, the most brilliant ideas are actually the simplest. Take the limited-edition (very limited—just a dozen copies) book of concentrated wisdom about how to behave in society, devised by Alexandre Bettler in conjunction with his grandmother to celebrate her 80th birthday. Using a basic paper-folding technique, the page numbers are hidden at the foot of each double-layered page—but when unfolded, they automatically become book-marks. Ce qu’il nous reste was produced to be given to Bettler’s grandma’s 10 children, so u won’t b able to but a copy…

Alexandre Bettler: Started a few years ago with my grand-mum, this project was finnished just on time for her 80th birthday. Both of us were interested about how people behave in society and how this might (or not) have changed in the last 40 years. Mimie (my grand mother) wanted me to make a small edition of 12 books so that she could offer one to each of her children (she had 10), still hoping to influence their education… Thanks to Billy for the book binding.

Ce qu’il nous reste, edition of 14, laser printed, folded with special gutter, glued and stitched. 2007
