[Brussels World’s Fair 1958] Seven items: (1-2) "U.S.S.R. Section".

Two fine and cleverly designed brochures in English of the Soviet pavilion for the fair, regarding the launch of the Sputnik satellite respectively on other Russian achievements, both with unfolded measurements 57 x 44 cm. (folded: 22 x 11 cm.) (in very good condition).

Seemingly plain brochures in folded condition, but step by step unfolding continually reveals new visual and textual information until the fine final image, printed on both sides, is visible; (3) "Poème électronique". Brochure regarding the electronic achievement by Philips for Le Corbusier's installation of the same name, text in Dutch, English, German and French, unfolded 20 x 26.5 cm. (folded 20 x 9 cm.). Illustration of the technical ingenuity required by the installation: "Wanneer (...) op de startknop wordt gedrukt, lopen de filmprojectoren, de kleuren-projectieapparaten, de geluidsbanden en de commandobanden volkomen gelijktijdig aan en de voorstelling wordt geheel automatisch afgewerkt."; (4) Het electronische gedicht Le Corbusier. Le poème électronique Le Corbusier. N.pl., Philips, 1958, (120) p., text contributions (in Dutch) by Jean Petit, L.C.
