Siméon Dubuis – UNFOLDING TOPOGRAPHIES
by Siméon Dubuis
In recent years, the mountains have been crumbling spectacularly, and with them, various myths. Far from the idyllic images of postcards, valleys and villages are cut off from the world; in the worst cases, they are wiped off the map. Against this backdrop, UNFOLDING TOPOGRAPHIES re-examines the clichés of Alpine representation to propose new visual narratives. This graphic research project intervenes at the very heart of the production matrix where images are created, appropriating both industrial production techniques such as offset printing and more traditional methods such as copper engraving. UNFOLDING TOPOGRAPHIES explores how our representations shape our environment and influence our interactions with it.
