Shortlisted, Rencontres d'Arles Book Awards 2025, Photo-Text Book Award
An artist book that documents a collection of ceramic objects from Egypt. The objects carry lived or invented stories, just like souvenirs brought back from travels. Oscillating between fiction and non-fiction, the work plays with different forms of representation and addresses questions around the construction of identity. It is in two parts: first the text, a collection of short stories, and second a five-metre-long leporello with the pictures of the ceramic objects, taken by the Ethnographic Museum in Geneva.
