Pierre di Scullio is neither an artist nor typographer, yet his work has always been based on the relationship between text and image. In 1983, he started to publish Qui Résiste, of which there have been nine issues so far - 'manuals' of seduction, truth, death, zoology, the square, clouds, reading and elementary logic. Today, his explorations have led him to the limits of type with the creation of a range of signs, typefaces, or rather a system which creates endless variations from a basic repertoire, which he refers to as a "sign machine". Pierre di Scullio tries to balance type with text and text with type, striving to avoid any superficial illustration of one by the other.
