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

It now oversees the EpOx et BoTOx entity, maintaining its positioning regarding the printing and production method of the works (silkscreened from start to finish, and crafted by hand).

The urgency to claim more than just eccentricity or graphic singularity, to be more than an atypical and marginal niche, is becoming pressing: EpOx et BoTOx is not disappearing; it is merging into the heart of La Main Qui Cale as a collection that keeps its own catalog and will host future artist books with more sporadic releases than up until 2023. La Main Qui Cale, for its part, will publish all other forms of works (from annual or biennial journals (depending on the mood) to monographs) that can intertwine images with short stories, pamphlets, poems, essays, or cries—but never the last one.

Exhibition “The Noise of the Retina”

Feb 8, 2026 | Events

At the heart of the exhibition: screen printing; around it: its genesis and metamorphoses. Beneath a hand-printed poster lie a multitude of layers—each one a stage of earlier research and work. Why not also bring these underlying layers up to date—the ones the image that hits your eye is built on?
A paleontology of the image.

This one folds back on itself and resonates from the past: a retroactive echo, the blurred memory of an idea that grows sharper and more refined over time. The eye focuses on the image the way the brain focuses on the idea. The first happens in space, the second happens in time.
If the eye is the organ between the outside world and the image that prints itself in our mind, art is the organ between our inner world and its impression offered to the public.

Putting things in perspective.

The screen-printed poster is like the result of a very short focal length concentrated on the foreground (the last in time); this exhibition also aims to reveal what lies hidden in the depth of field.
Through constant redefinitions, vision sharpens, the idea becomes clearer, the image steps out of the plane to take shape—or come to life. Then anatomies emerge: volumes breaking out of the frame and sculpted effigies.

From sketch to finished drawing, from film positive to poster, from image to modeling, “The Noise of the Retina” focuses on disturbances.

Opening Saturday, February 28 – Exhibition on view for 1 month.
