All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

Sometimes a detail can obsess you for many years and never be remarked by anyone else.
Nicolas Giraud was impressed by the phrase type-written by Jack Nicholson all along the movie SHINING, directed by Stanley Kubrik.
This type-writen phrase became the starting point of a project that Nicolas Giraud led for many years. He created then all the variations possible by typing himself the phrase.
The paroxism of the project is reached at page 80 of the book project, when the text became a portrait.
This incredible piece was presented at HYPERMARKT.011
