Sense in sight

A work that defies the hegemony of the visual sense in the creation and reception of images. What synesthetic effects can they arouse?

After looking at a corpus of European and contemporary theoretical essays and famous images, a series of images are produced. These images explore the bridges between vision and the other senses.

 

Born from the final bachelor’s project at the American University of Beirut (AUB), this book was shaped under the thoughtful guidance of Reza Abedini, mentor of the project.

The book’s photographs were realized with the artistic partnership of Omar Ramadan.

A Taste for Oneself

A book that evokes the memories on my skin. The sensations are conjured up by the gestures while reading the pop-up.

The photos are taken by Camille Peyré.

Shirt on Stage

Bulletins designed for a three days festival on fashion in film. Each version is dedicated to one day. The typography evokes the movement of film credits. The object is conceived to be hung in numbers in a big dressing at the entrance of the festival. Visitors are welcome to grab one and eventually hang it next to the outfits they wore to the event.

Bound

A room in which Joud remains.

Joud makes paper planes. One of them flew further than 10m. She sometimes makes paper boats. She says that those fly better than her planes, but that she would not dare throw them.

Roots / Leaf

Two photo series entitled: racines (roots) et feuille (leaf).

Exposing one obliges fracturing the other. The book is sealed on both ends, the reader must make a choice to;
unbind the pages to access the serie feuille
or
cut the foredge to access the serie roots

The Beginning and the End

Book which showcases a typographic interpretation of the novel The Beginning and the End by Najib Mahfouz. The novel is about a family who lives in an impoverished neighborhood in Egypt.

Since the Orange Tree

Autofiction in prose that relates my process of creation. It expands on two layers; the first narrative gives a voice to a still consciousness contemplating its room. Buried voices emerge from objects scattered in its surroundings. The second layer explores these voices.

 

Book created and written as part of the DNSEP thesis at HEAR. It is not commercially distributed but is available for consultation at the Manufacture des Tabacs library.

It has been presented in several exhibitions, including Les À‑Côtés, Bibliothèque Parasite at the Médiathèque André Malraux, during the HEAR-Here and Now graduation weekend at HEAR, and in the exhibition Toucher, Écouter, Habiter at Maison Rose.

A Monday
