Marc Camille Chaimowicz (1946–2024) was an acclaimed visual artist known for his performances, installations, and curatorial flair - he was also a writer. This first comprehensive collection of his writings spans 1971–2023, featuring seminal interviews, performance reports, letters, jokes, and rare documents, including early leaflets and typewritten handouts. Blending literature, modernist architecture, interior design, art theory, glam rock, and camp culture, the book offers a vivid portrait of the artist alongside the social flânerie of his time. Witty and inclusive, Chaimowicz’s texts set a new template for expressing queerness through writing. Curator and editor Alexis Vaillant provides commentary and context, shaping a time capsule of cultural pleasure featuring Andy Warhol, David Bowie, Jean Cocteau, Elsa Schiaparelli, and others. This volume captures Chaimowicz’s singular prose - both knowing and longing - for the twenty-first century.
