Description
This book shows the work of eight contemporary French graphic designers, Christophe Jacquet, Mathias Schweizer, Fanette Mellier, Vier5, Helmo, Pierre Vanni, Jocelyn Cottencin and Akatre.
It questions the relationship between commissioned work and personal work, and with it the boundary between fine and applied arts. It contains eight large posters, made by each of the graphic designers presented, accompanied by several texts of a critical or literary nature that question what a graphic piece is. This object to be handled, which plays on the notions of front and back in both its design and its content, is itself at the border between commercial and artist's book.
