Jorge Satorre: Pelusa

Biel Books

Jorge Satorre is a Mexican artist known for working through manual processes and experimentation with different materials. On this occasion, the artist was invited to produce a work of art at the Elica factory in Querétaro, dedicated to the design and manufacture of cooker hoods.

 

The book, designed by Gabriel Pericàs and which we have had the opportunity to produce, collects and recounts the different stages of the artist’s development of the work Pelusa, from his first visits to the factory to its execution.

 

Pelusa is a collective work in which the artist wanted to involve Elica’s workers in the creative process, breaking away from the mechanical and repetitive tasks of a factory routine.

 

The final result is a hardcover book covered with coated paper and two booklets glued inside. The first one is bound with Singer thread and the second one with a Swiss binding with open thread.

 

Inside, the yellow tone takes centre stage with the interplay of different elements such as the paper of the endpapers and the cover of one of the booklets or the threads used for the two bindings. In addition, the book combines a glossy coated paper printed in CMYK for the photographs and an offset paper printed in two-tone Pantone to simulate the drawings of the project.
