A publishing house that aims to weave a dialogue between images and words.

It now oversees the EpOx et BoTOx entity, and retains its positioning in terms of the printing and bookmaking method (silkscreened from start to finish, and hand-bound).

The urgency to claim more than mere eccentricity or graphic singularity, to be more than an atypical, marginal niche, is becoming pressing: EpOx et BoTOx is not disappearing; the element is blending into the hollow of La Main Qui Cale, in the form of a collection that keeps its own catalogue and will welcome other future artists’ books, published more sporadically than up to 2023. La Main Qui Cale, for its part, will publish any other form of book (from the annual or biennial magazine (depending on the mood) to the monograph) that will know how to interweave into its images the short story, the pamphlet, the poem, the essay, the cry – but not the last.
