Le Labyrinthe de la Genèse – Un mémoire dont vous êtes l’hérosïne
Le Labyrinthe de la Genèse invites you to play the role of a young graphic designer, freshly graduated, in search of a definition for their practice. You will eventually come across a manifesto of factographismes – a term modified and borrowed from literature of the 1960s. During that time, unique literary forms emerged in which writers used archives, facts, and often everyday objects to create factographies.
I wanted to talk about a graphic practice that uses similar methods, while emphasizing, through the journey and encounters, that there is never a single answer. My analysis starts from a particular perspective, and it could have been completely different but no less relevant. In each of these projects, the aim was to guide the readers, offering them the chance to choose their own tools and paths to follow.
The project PDF is available on the Memo dg platform, a site that gathers DNSEP theses from graphic design students across France.
An example of gender-inclusive typography at work: “l’auteur/autrice” uses BBB Baskervvol’s typographic option of showing both male and female versions of the word “author” as equally important.
