In 1958, Éditions L’Arbalète published a document of Genet's visits to Giacometti's studio, profusely photographed on high-gloss paper and narrated by the author. According to Fondation Giacometti the publication "remains one of the most precious testimonies of the artist’s work and a unique description of his creative world." Genet narrates the studio, Giacometti's representation of women, and death. As Fondation Giacometti claims "like Genet, Giacometti was fascinated by death, a subject that haunted his work throughout his career. His sculptures and paintings show a world on the fringes of life, inhabited by the “immeasurable population of the dead” described by the poet."
