Butoh, el derecho a la locura

Butoh, el derecho a la locura
The design takes inspiration from Zen principles, interconnecting and overlapping them to create an organic and authentic spirit. All photographs are by Thito Gutiérrez.

Butoh, el derecho a la locura, aspires to awaken the reader's senses in a subtle and sophisticated way (Shibu). Through the use of materials in their raw state, binding with exposed stitchings, the careful selection of papers, and different printing techniques, it affirms its identity and evokes the shizen of Japanese art. Like butoh itself, the proposal transcends convention (datsuzoku): it challenges typographical conventions and explores formal alterations expressively and spontaneously.

The composition, of balanced irregularity (fukinsei), represents the challenging nature of the dance, its introspection, and its critical spirit (seijaku). Neither the texts nor the design reveals the documented identities; They use different resources to suggest them and ask for a deeper observation (yugen).

Simple and direct, dispensing with decorative resources and focused on the clarity that reveals the emotion of the kanso; Butoh, el derecho a la locura, is a book-object that invites contemplation.
