If only alchemists managed to uncover the secret of turning lead into gold, we have carried out the reverse operation here. It took us time to find the ingredients that transform gold into a heavy, gray metal. Here is PLOMB (lead), issue number 8 of the revue Lagon.
Our gold is made up of the stories, words, and images from the 20 invited artists that we have slipped into nearly 300 pages of this new issue.
In Europe, centuries ago, people practiced divination using lead. The metal was melted and poured into a container of water, and depending on the shapes formed by the pieces sinking to the bottom, predictions were made. We invite you to drop a few coins into our bowl of water and see what shape this new opus will take.
