A dense book of 312 pages for a flow of 560 "overprints", or "an everyday obsession". An intuitive, mocking project in which everyone can find themselves, the overprint plays at deconstructing, cheering up, defacing and distorting the very stylised world of the magazine and, more generally, of the reproduced image. Half iconic, half ironic, Daubal's approach explores the themes of fashion, ecology and the human being in their environment. Her artisanal, even minimalist way of working, made of recycling, cutting out and tinkering of all kinds, provokes reaction and reflection. She invites us to look differently at the subjects she tackles by playfully deconstructing established codes and colliding glossy paper with popular culture: to create a dialogue by combining the improbable, to provoke questions rather than supply answers. Absurd object or initiator of thought? Fruit of chance or deliberate choice? Empty of meaning or symbolic? Homage or cheese? A perpetual performance in which she makes fashion rhyme with onions!
