In an era where crises follow one another and justify a state of permanent exception, Sublime Democracy is a critical multimedia campaign portraying democracies stripped of their foundations, yet upheld by persistent symbols sustaining the illusion. Designed as a contemporary fable, the work draws on precise presidential speeches and polished visuals, integrating AI as the engine of a critical process where falsehood becomes language. By playing with the codes of power, it questions our habituation to fear, authority, and dominant narratives.

In 1962, French filmmaker Chris Marker released La Jetée. It was an experimental film made up of hundreds of black and white 35mm shots. It tells the story of a journey through time in a distorted post-apocalyptic Paris. The visual identity is based on an original typography that pays homage to Marker's raw material and its French context, and transcribes the idea of sequencing and light projection. It evolves through a teaser for a screening of La Jetée and a booklet containing the full script of the film.
Ailleurs Ici is the story of 132 route de la Fruitière. During their retirement, two former teachers, René and Anne-Marie Favre, explored the world. Their journeys are above all encounters, the interests of enthusiasts. But when they return from these expeditions, it's their house that changes. As if it were undergoing a second metamorphosis. The old renovated barn at 132 Route de la Fruitière has been given its final chrysalis. The walls are filled with colourful objects and prints of exotic negatives. The stones here are filled with prints from elsewhere. Without meaning to, René and Annie have turned 132 Route la Fruitière into a museum inhabited by its curators. Elsewhere Here is their catalogue, retracing each of René and Annie's journeys through objects as mysterious as they are foreign.

RADIO 49D is a pirate radio station based in the Canton of Vaud, Switzerland. It broadcasts a wide variety of content freely (often illegally) over the available FM airwaves. Its call sign is HB4DI, but it is an usurpation, as the radio's founder never declared its existence to the relevant authorities. For communicative purposes RADIO 49D creates cards that it broadcasts to regular listeners via SSTV (Slow-scan Television) technology. These cards are then translated into radio waves and, after reception and retranscribed into images. An album has been produced and acts as a physical archive.
