Publisher Note

‘La Nonpareille’ expands on Batia Suter’s site-specific installation at TU Delft, in which she engaged with an archive of glass slides from its library. Originally used between 1900 and 1960 for lectures in Mechanical Technology, these visibly worn plates document machines, industrial materials, and production processes during a period of increasing mechanisation. Suter reworks the material into a visual reflection on the entanglement of humans and machines – and how technology reshapes perception, labour, and everyday life. Many compositions in the book consist of layered montages, where multiple images are overlaid to create new, morphed forms and associations.
