Lot Essay

'Assadour the secret, prince of encryption, with a tempered yet passionate nature, appears to be the most meticulous master of images, which he interlocks, untangles, clots, separates again and finally fuses into one same substance. His layout is ingeniously inscrutable yet nothing has been randomly placed. Everything is so precise in this chaos which is very well thought out, that Assadour does not seem to destroy all the codes but rather substitutes them with his own.' (Gérard Xuriguera, ASSADOUR, Paris, 2003).
