Seen as a global phenomenon, censorship shapes our way
of thinking, and thus our different societies. We tend to think that censorship is only the sign
of totalitarian governments.
This project intends to reveal that against all preconceived ideas, European Art has strongly been affected by censorship over the past two centuries, and continues to do
so today. The project composed
of 4 books and 4 posters shows both objective data and subjective views on it. The design of the project has been strongly influenced by the sentence " What you can't see you can ignore" in "The Power and the Glory" by Graham Greene. Each element of the project plays around the idea of something obvious and something hidden that you have to discover, using origami and kirigami techniques of folding, embossing, and anamorphosis, so that the reader has to manipulate and transform the medium to make
the information appear.
Project published in Etapes 173
