description: With a new theme and format for each issue, Visionaire stretches the imagination and boundaries of what an art and fashion publication can be. For Issue No. 34: Paris, Visionaire and Hedi Slimane invite leading architects, artists and designers to portray the City of Light in an unprecedented fashion--instead of referring to the past with familiar nostalgia and romanticism, Visionaire No. 34: Paris depicts the city of tomorrow. Architect Greg Lynn has designed an innovative sculptural piece to contain a large-format hardbound book of these original works. Constructed of enameled metal, this monolithic case opens to reveal an interior topography specifically engineered to hold the book as though suspended in space. Contributors to this edition include architects Neil Denari, Andreas Angelidakis, and Dominique Perrault; video artist Chris Cunningham; artists Thomas Demand, Elizabeth Ballet, James Casebere, and Craig Kapalkjian; graphic designers H5 and John Maeda; and special text by the French pop group Air. Visionaire No. 35 will be available in the spring of 2001.
