Great bookBy lucaImpressed by the writers choice of topic and his casual writing approach. inspiring to read and i look forward to more form the same writer.5 of 7 people found the following review helpful. More than MatterBy Yves Ghiai-chamlouProfessor Gissens Subnature may at first seem to be an in depth study of matter such as pollution; mud or debris. Not so in my opinion. This book is also about uncovering the intagible and invisible nature of history. An experimental history whereby events in the past may help us reshape the future.An extraordinary and poetic journey in which the immanence of matter becomes a phenomenological vehicule for dreaming new creations.
