Cherchez l'artiste / IN SITU 

art direction / book design / leporello 

2019

client : Valérie Frossard, resident artist at In Situ, artistes en résidence dans les collèges, and Département de la Seine-Saint-Denis.

Valérie Frossard is a french photographer who "sees the world as a giant lab of humankind studies and often includes herself physically in her work, as she feel see is only another piece of the bigger picture." 
In this project, she "followed" eight artists and a researcher in residency In Situ in the Seine-Saint-Denis Department, near Paris France. Eight months of observation and at the nodal point of this spinning a question: what exactly is an artist? 
I was therefore commissioned by Valérie Frossard to lay out the book which will be the compliation of the photographer's research: visual note taking, written and sensitive traces, combined extracts from interviews, questionnaires and symbolic self-portraits.
