For PAPER/VIEW 2012, MOREpulishers has invited Vast Colson to think about a specific edition ine the Hors Série series and to be presented during the Art Book Fair.
Vaast Colson proposed to realise a display case that would become the tool to produce his Hors série # 19. Entitled "Plot Coupon" , it can only be produced when the display case is on use ; Vaast Colson's drawing would appear by rubbing a paper rightly placed on the plexiglas surface. The rubbing shows a figure/knight (Widu Gasti) holding two candles. A figure/selfportrait that occurs in several Works by Vaast Colson.
The figure appears through its black background. Seemingly lit up by the candles the figure is holding.
The numeroted edition plot Coupon is theorically endless but produced only on demand, and as long as the display table is active.
"Quest Object" is a special version of the hors série # 19, limited to 10 exemplars (+ 2 A.P.). It consists of a sculpture/candlestick that holds a candle in the shape of the artist’s head. The steel candle stick is spray painted in grey high gloss lacquer.
It also contain a big size version of the endless h.s. # 19, ‘Plot Coupon’ edition, stored in the diagonal tube that holds the candle. As on the drawing, the actual candle functions as an object to enlighten its close environment.
