Le Démon de l'Absurde

A series of short narratives and accompanying prefatory materials probe the borders of the absurd and the uncanny, juxtaposing domestic tableaux with sudden intimations of decay, death, and psychological unease. Through theatrical scenes, symbolic details, and a shift between sensual description and grotesque suggestion, the pieces show how trivial signs—a lost tooth, a mirror, small gestures—point to hidden existential relations. Prefatory commentary and visual facsimiles frame these vignettes and encourage reflection on how imagination, social convention, and unconscious impulses combine to reveal solitude, desire, and ironic disquiet.
