*mundi
font, rubber stamps, activation, 2021

In a gesture that is both pop and conceptual, the artist has designed a complete typography extending the famous Éditions de Minuit logo. Each letter of the alphabet is accompanied by a star, bringing together two recurring motifs in his practice: language and the stars.

Transformed into stamps, the letters are made available to the public, who are free to use them on sheets of paper or directly on the walls of the exhibition. Writing thus becomes a shared, reproducible, and potentially infinite gesture, escaping the control of the author.

The impressions produced gradually compose hybrid images, oscillating between celestial maps and fragments of text.
