An exploration of the newly-revealed set of 406 notebooks which Artaud used in the final years of his life in Paris. Designed as an autonomous work in their own right, the notebooks distil his pre-eminent preoccupations: the envisioning of a new, organ-less human anatomy, his conception of the time and space of gesture, his raw fury against society and all of its manifestations, his visualization of a ruined and supplanted natural and urban world, his intensive confrontation between text and image, and his reflections on the fluctuating parameters of life and death.
