Uber Life by Tassiana Aït-Tahar
Blending imagery, personal accounts and sociology, Uber Life recounts the five years photographer Tassiana Aït-Tahar spent working as an Uber Eats delivery driver. Set against a backdrop inspired by internet culture, the book features a collection of photographs, collages and scans of various objects – a veritable logbook documenting her daily life and that of her fellow delivery drivers.
Far from wallowing in self-pity and speaking with frank candour, Tassiana shares a story punctuated by anecdotes, recounting both her moments of joy (resilience, humour, mutual support) and the many difficulties of the job (job insecurity, various forms of violence, the dominance of the algorithm, physical exhaustion, the Covid-19 period, etc.). The book is published by Fisheye Éditions.
Lisa Millot, designer for Fisheye Éditions, used Install Rounded Bold for the book cover and titles, with tight spacing, creating ligatures among the titles. The text typeface is Saans.
