The impetus for the work began as Duzant was learning a language whilst her father, recently diagnosed with dementia, began forgetting his own. Structured as an alphabet learning book (A is for…), also known as a primer, \u003ci\u003eLa vie is like that\u003c\/i\u003e is composed of short passages of writing formed from a non-chronological narrative that embodies a circular sense of time. Duzant's writing style embraces a conversational tone, with humorous asides combined with the artist's personal archives, including observational imagery informed by movement, touch, light, and shadow translated through Risography. The book balances text and images, breaking and pausing between each chapter, and unfolding and overlapping temporalities across various topics spanning Greek myth, Japanese temple architecture, CAPTCHAs, Ralph Waldo Emerson, the Russian and Turkish Baths on East 10th Street, the letter Y in romance languages, linguistic false friends, and dream interpretation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e---\u003cbr\u003eSize: 8.5 x 6.5 in.\u003cbr\u003ePage Count: 180\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Hardcover (Clothbound)\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Smyth Sewn\u003cbr\u003ePrinting: Risograph (Yellow, Scarlet, Blue, Metallic Gold, Black \u0026amp; Violet)\u003cbr\u003ePaper Stock: 80 lb.
