documenta space in time

documenta space in time is an editorial archive work on one of the most important art  events, Kassel documenta. The book compiles the ten first editions of documenta at  the Museum Fridericianum, from 1955 to 1997. We approached this work as an  archeology of the archive, with different stratum of research and highlights.  This work has allowed us to focus on our interest in books publishing, he confronted us  with passion to issues related to the publication of an archive and its graphic and  editorial responses.

with Adeline Mollard

  Genius Loci, or the spirit of the place, refers to the unique identity or essence of a location. In architecture, this principle suggests that the specific characteristics of a place should be reflected and extended in a design. In the case of the second-year graphic design students, they have applied this principle to communication projects focused on promoting or extending the identity of a particular place through design. Their work likely explores how to visually capture and communicate the essence of a space, using graphic design elements that resonate with the architectural features or history of the place.

Visual Identity – BA2 S2 2026

with Adeline Mollard

As part of the visual identity course with Adeline Mollard, the students developed a visual identity based on a randomly drawn business card. By appropriating a graphic element and its title, each project offers a singular interpretation of it. Each proposal also involves the selection of a tool linked to the associated event (tattoo machine, sander, lithography equipment, etc.), used as a conceptual and graphic extension of the project. The identity is deployed across a range of formats, from business card to F4 size, including posters, flyers, business cards, as well as an animated poster.
