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.

NEW: The “Soviet Regime” – ration booklet

Jun 29, 2026 | Editions

Here is a RATION BOOKLET valid throughout the year: there is no better time than another to get rid of what vile capitalist consumerism makes you accumulate with each new event it invents: EXCESS WEIGHT!

Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Birthdays, Weddings, Ceremonies, celebrations of all kinds…

The SOVIET REGIME will make those cumbersome kilos disappear, like political dissidents!

Approved by the Politburo.

To give to your loved ones at any time of the year.
A relaxed and uninhibited satire (but not of love handles) of that moving historical period when there was a commitment to redistribute equitably common goods to each individual (gulp).

Shamelessly borrowing the graphic codes of that advertising trend that managed to establish itself as a reference – and gave certain clever folks the bright idea of building their very personal style on propaganda that led millions of people to utter destitution – this modest little booklet will make those who know laugh bitterly, and prepare for the worst those who don’t yet know.
On this cheerful note, the Party wishes you joy and courage, comrades!!!

Design and graphics: Aude Carbone, in collaboration with comrade Ярослав Игоревич Гапоненко for compliance.
