Lumières graphzine
This graphzine aims to explore the iconography and representation of light through various artistic means. It presents a wide range of light sources, whether natural or artificial, from the flickering flame of a candle to the brilliant flashes of lightning. Using graphic techniques such as grids, layering through collage, or adding shapes to photographs, we discover that light can be diffuse, dazzling, blinding, undulating, or sparkling. This book is presented as a journal of observations, offering a reflection on how light shapes our daily lives and occupies our space.
The luminous aspect is also highlighted in the shaping of the edition. Some research has been screen-printed with fluorescent ink, adding real touches of light to the reading. The slightly iridescent and wavy paper cover reflects light and changes the readability of the title depending on our lighting environment. Finally, the Coptic binding and the large number of quires allow the edition, once unfolded, to create a radiant effect.
