This black box is one "encounter" between an artist and Dépanne Machine, out of a series of six.

The drawing was done on the facing pages of the Table of Contents. The book consists of critical analysis of Hubaut's work by Restany, Lebel and Frank, reproductions of polaroid photographs featuring Hubaut performing in his white jacket painted with distinguishing signs, and comments by Hubaut on these photographs. Forty-eight reproductions of colored polaroid photographs constitute a section of this book. All have the identical format and are printed on a black background. The photographs are centered, one to a page. The caption "hobby or not hobby -- mon dada comme un violin" is printed at the top of each page in white. The caption "epidemie completement d'ingres" is printed in white at the bottom of the page. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

This book illustrates and describes the monochromatique color themed events organized and produced by Hubaut in various towns in France and Japan. Hubaut writes, "I have chosen to develop my current practice on colour from the three founding elements in modern art - the monochrome, the ready-made and the gesture. I construct my monchrome 'sites' from given or borrowed objects donated by a public often isolated from the art melieu. This is a tactic to reach a wider audience." Hubaut designates himself a "color guerilla." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
