EN 🡢 On hold is a poster series with no message, wishing to take over unsold and unexploited promotional media to cultural issues. These visuals are graphic transitions outside promotion language, inside a devoted media. The series was exhibited in the Amilly bus shelters in collaboration with the Tanneries Contemporary art Center and the city. The series was choosen to figure on the event poster (see below), and was also exhibited during the private exhibition Quatre x Quatre (hybride) in Orléans.

EN 🡢 For the 49th issue of the French Art magazine Artpress2, this time dedicated to graphic design, eleven schools, including an average of three students per institution, responded to the call to design an article. After submitting our application, Adrien Jacquemet and I were given content to layout in a totally free conceptual way. It was on the subject of graphic designers on television through exchanges between TV director Jean-Christophe Averty and filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard. By using some of the graphic codes of television programmes schedules and mixing them with Godard inspired censorships, we wanted to create a fairly strong graphic contrast between a rational layout and wild handsketches.

EN 🡢 Competing poster for the 2016 open days of ESAD Orléans. I started with the simple idea of a communion with the administartion, teachers and students within the school. These different parts create a “whole” defining the school itself. However this “whole” leaves a precious and consequential free space to students for creation. (Bellow) Not competing poster made for my own pleasure at the time of the ESAD Orléans 2017 Open days.

EN 🡢 Poster made with Adrien Jacquemet for the yearly Halloween party organized by the Student Office of ÉSAD Orléans (BDE). We tried to emancipate ourselves from the classic graphic codes of Halloween and create something more personal such as this weird abstract composition based on some of our handsketches.

EN 🡢 Quatre x Quatre (hybride) is an exhibition/performance inspired by the cycle of the seasons. Integrated in an old apartment full of character, it is defined and deconstructed in 4 colours, musically, materially and graphically transcribed by Mathias Vidal (musician/electronic performer), Alexandre Esteves (space/object designer) and Martin Foucaut (graphic designer/plastician/organizer). Quatre x Quatre wishes too coexist within a same space and subject, a particular use of media, and creation disciplines.

EN 🡢 Media Spaces is my 5th year diploma project in the visual and graphic design section. It deals with the question of representation through the various media, supports and formats, and wishes to question the effects of the process of reproducibilty of a subject. By "media spaces", I mean here, for example, the Internet, print, projection or even physical/exhibition space, which alone constitute a wide range of possible narrative experiences, and which I wanted to explore as a priority.

I wanted to explore these possibilities plastically, by transposing my thesis into each of these media spaces, but also by dedicating the content of this same publication to an approach to the questions introduced here. These writings are set in the broader context of art history, media archaeology, and theories of representation.

Beyond the Internet, there is here the opportunity to transpose the digital interface of my thesis into an audio version, projected, spatialized or even the printed edition which was then returned to the diploma jury. Through this process of reproducibility, multiple versions of my thesis have been generated, allowing its simultaneous existence through the media and highlighting the effects of each medium. This process generates a wide range of possible experiences and hybridizations between the questioned spaces. These experiences will then be articulated in a conceptualized physical space, which will itself be reproduced indefinitely. From there, it is a question of conceiving the physical space as an interface, an environment where a form of interactive perspective is played out between the representation, its space, time and the spectator. The system I'm setting up wishes to question the means of producing images, but also aspires to open up to certain conceptions that can potentially determine how we read a space and it's representation(s). It is then the question of investing the exhibition space from the perspective of the White Cube theories, but but also dabbling with its investment or disinvestment.
