TextThis is a book consisted of eleven volumes. Each volume is dedicated to a specific study on Stéphane’s Mallarmé “Un coup de Dés jamais n’abolira le Hasard”. Each act focuses on understanding the structure of the poem through a different lens, for example: music, voice-sound, translation (as Walter Benjamin describes it), architecture, typography, etc. 

How does the rule of a poem’s composition offer the ability of multiple performances? In which way can the structure of such a project be understood? How many different readings may result from this? 

Only through making acts on the poem itself, its composition may be realised and understood• as only when revealing its manifolds, its multiplicity is being highlighted. 

Excerpt from the thesis project “Acts of reading on the poem of Mallarmé Un coup de Dés jamais n’abolira le Hasard”, Department of Architecture, UTH. Supervisors: Phoebe Giannisi, Iris Lykourioti, Yorgos Tzirtzilakis
