The long-awaited Acéphalous Compendium has arrived.
This large-format companion volume was produced alongside Acéphalous: The Erotic Tarot of Georges Bataille and printed in a permanently limited edition of 500 copies by TJ Books for Ocular Editions. Conceived as the philosophical and visual archive of the deck created with Noah Trapolino, the Compendium gathers the imagery, concepts, and reflections that animate the project’s engagement with the thought of Georges Bataille.
Only a small surplus of copies remains from the original print run.
We are releasing the first wave of 100 copies to the public. Once this allocation is exhausted, the Compendium will return to the archive until further notice.
Purchasing a copy directly supports the continued work of Ocular Editions and the Acid Horizon Research Commons, helping fund future publications, seminars, and collaborative experiments in philosophy and art.
Each copy is part of the original, permanently limited edition produced during the Acéphalous campaign. No additional printings are planned.
Price: $150
First Wave Availability: 100 copies
