Italy-born, Toronto-based visual artist Flavio Trevisan possesses a well-demonstrated knack for raising unorthodoxy from repetition and regularity, and the perfect-bound TRANSITION: Dissolve is yet another testament to his expertise. After an intermission of 4 years, Trevisan returns to his TRANSITION series with this digitally-printed, black-and-white installment. And it is worth the wait: Dissolve is arguably the most sophisticated, mindful chapter in the series. Similar to TRANSITION: Zoom In, the book opens into a double-spread title page. One soon realizes that the volume lends itself to a flip book approach, and as one proceeds, the text fades into ethereal imprints and ultimately vanishes while an underlying photo of a pair of hands holding open a blank book saturates into view.
