Book-object produced as part of a residency at Pier2 Art Center, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, in collaboration with Korean artist Sujin Moon. Format: 16,4 x 23 cm, 14 pages. Two-way reading. Production of the edition 5+2AP in progress, 2025.
The book presents photographs of post-war architectural fragments from the port city of Kaohsiung. The images are linked together by a system of fastenings made possible by a folding technique.
This book-object looks at the analogies between music and modern architecture. It evokes the idea of a score, a musical notation in which the lines indicate the pitch of the sound. Articulated on two axes, it proposes a play of super-impositions allowing the lines to intersect, thus multiplying the possible variations of collages between the images.
Edition 100+3AP, 23 x 27 cm, 16 pages b&w, binding on two sides,
silkscreen and risoprint, 2023. Published with einBuch.haus gallery.

This book-object is built on the theory of the “open form” of the Polish modernist architect Oskar Hansen. The rules are as follows: no hierarchy, no beginning, no end, no reading direction: the usual order of the book is upset. Inside a folded cardboard cover, the pages overlap, creating threads through the crossing and superimposition of lines. The vision is thus disturbed by unexpected “collages”.
Edition 100+3AP, 21 x 25 cm, 16 pages of b&w photographs, 2022.
Each cover is unique, cut from previous print works of the artist.
Coedited with einBuch.haus gallery and the Naima Editions.

Book-object produced as part of the ‘Sounds like a book’ residency in Şona, Romania, 2024. Format: 20 x 21 cm, 16 pages, wooden binding. The order of the book’s pages is not fixed as the stick can be removed, so that several combinations are possible. Edition of 15 numbered and signed copies.
Bound together by a piece of branch, the pages of the book revisit the idea of the photo album, highlighting stick users in the village of Şona. The carbonized appearance of the stick is reminiscent of the blackened facades of farmhouses, also echoing the soundtrack associated with the book, which can evoke the crackle of fire.
The sound recording is the result of rubbing a mic contact that I deliberately left lying on the floor. The idea was to reproduce the gesture of the shepherd who crosses the village every day with a tree branch in his hand, its foliage tickling the asphalt.

“Concrete is to construction what printing is to writing and […] tends to popularize art by making it accessible to all fortunes.” François Coignet, pioneer of concrete, in “Bétons agglomérés appliqués à l’art de construire”, 1861 (Agglomerated concrete applied to the art of building).
