At a Parisian antiquarian book dealer in 1994, we fell upon a 1911 edition of The 1001 nights, the French translation by Dr. J-C Mardrus. It was love at first sight – we bought the set and decided to transform it into lifelong work-in-progress, taking apart the old volumes to turn them into a series of 6 contemporary artists' books. Sicilia both intervenes on the original pages or adds extra folios on Japanese paper, sometimes leaving only bits of text legible, a new reading of the “nights.”
