The fest­iv­al of Ren­contres Choré­graph­iques Inter­na­tionales de Seine-Saint-Denis has asked us to estab­lish the Art Dir­ec­tion of its 2020 annu­al event.

Identité

This trail­blaz­ing fest­iv­al ded­ic­ated to con­tem­por­ary cho­reo­graph­ic writ­ing looks at the world from a sharp and poet­ic per­spect­ive, while con­stantly ques­tion­ing it. We have made new use of plastic mater­i­al, one that is nat­ur­ally graph­ic, the sym­bol of our con­sumer­ism: the bin bag. We have thus cre­ated a graph­ic uni­verse that ques­tions the world sur­round­ing us while remain­ing elegant.

UltraSolar x TXT25

We have high­lighted this cre­ation through a con­tem­por­ary let­ter­press choice by work­ing with Adri­an Midzic’s Ultra­sol­ar typeface, com­bined with the TXT25 of anoth­er French type design­er, Jean-Bap­tiste Morizot.

Subtle plays on trans­par­ency and dif­fer­ences enable the con­tent typo­graphy to be homo­gen­ised with the artwork.
