Bescheriel is the cousin* of the infamous Bescherelle. Like Bescherelle, it is both a guide and a book.

In this zine, you will find a non-exhaustive arsenal of weapons, all aimed at attacking the current grammatical order. The goal is to create a new non-order—fluid, inclusive, and neutral. Every weapon is valid, and every battle is a victory, even the defeats. But beware of the Immortals, the great conservators of what we will call the ‘old world.’ Their minions won’t hesitate to use trickery to better erase you and ban these weapons.

Mémoire des moissons is the story of a world on fire, where no one really understands where the spark came from, but some try to see through the smoke screens. It’s a fiction, but it speaks of the real world, of the way the world goes and is becoming, and who knows, maybe a little about you, and without a doubt about me. The images come from three film rolls that didn’t quite develop as they should. There are happy accidents.

Through the edition, the seed became a harvest—paper you can touch and smell, which won’t burn unless you set it on fire. I also thank Chris Marker, who is no longer in this world or the world of Internet, but who made La Jetée, a major inspiration.

I chose to use the Bluebeard typeface because the story of the zine resonates like a fairy tale, and the Amiamie (available on Typothèque Genderfluid by Bye Bye Binary) typeface allowed me to convey Nicolas’ story in an inclusive way.
