The story began at the Père-Lachaise, Paris.
It sounds paradoxal to begin a story in a cementery, but it seems to be definitly more a place of life than death: confrontation of deaths creates new stories, and generates new meanings, by anachronism and making strange association.
Comunication in the cementery is mainly written on stone and graves; then I wanted to show the Père-Lachaise through its written background.
This interest puts the focus on engraving letters. I oriented a part of my work on studying engraving typefaces, and how to interpretate in 2 dimensions their image.
The second stake was to communicate the typefaces.
In my case I needed to developp clearly two aspects: first, an emotional communication, purpousing an ambiance around the typefaces, and showing a possible use—an editorial use in display sizes; second, a more technical and specifical speach around my typeface design researches, and their specificities linked with engraving fonts.
