DEBORD (Guy). Memories. Supporting Structures by Asger Jorn. Copenhagen, published by the Situationist International (printed in Denmark by Permild and Rosengreen), 1959, 4°, 64 p., br., cover in Danish sandpaper "intended to keep any adjacent book on the shelves at a respectable distance" (1 small stain on the edge). First edition of this work "entirely composed of prefabricated elements": snippets of sentences, photos, plans of cities or buildings cut and pasted on which Jorn has superimposed "supporting structures". The "prefabricated elements" referred to on the title page refer to the practice of détournement developed by the Lettrist International and adopted by the Situationists. Published shortly after "End of Copenhagen," this is Debord and Jorn's second book, a "sandpaper-bound love book that tears up the pocket and entire library shelves. Circulated outside the commercial channels, this revolutionary book was printed in small numbers. Rare and beautiful copy.
