LES BLEMMYES

(the blemmyes)

17-page book, RISO print, 14.8 x 21 cm (A5)

December 2014

I got inspiration from the legend of the Blemmyes, a mysterious people that have no head. I imagined details about them, their lifestyle, their way of communication, their mode of reproduction, their religion, as if the narrator was an anthropologist observing them. Therefore this book looks like a travel sketchbook.

This book and the original drawings were shown during the HEAD’s exhibition "Habitat en histoires" at the Villa Dutoit in Geneva from January 16th to February 1st, 2015.
