Practical Sense Instructions
(2018)
• Digital print
• Size 830 x 590 mm
With the rise of robotic tools, humans are increasingly delegating tasks to machines, gradually drifting away from manual skills and practical know-how.
This series of images offers a humorous take on the situation by illustrating instruction sheets for simple manual tasks — deliberately presented in an absurd and inappropriate way. Presented as posters, the project parodies the assembly instructions of a well-known furniture brand.
The project was selected and exhibited at the Graphic Matters Festival 2019 in Breda (Netherlands).

Notices du sens pratique
(2019)
• Impression numérique
• 830 x 590 mm
Avec l’apparition d’outils robotisés, l’humain délègue de plus en plus de tâches à la machine, s’éloignant progressivement du geste manuel et du sens pratique.
Cette série d’images propose un regard humoristique sur cette situation, en illustrant des notices pour la réalisation de tâches simples… présentées de façon volontairement absurde et inappropriée.
Sous forme de posters, le projet parodie les notices de montage d’un célèbre magasin de mobilier. Projet sélectionné et présenté au festival Graphic Matters 2019 à Breda (Pays-Bas).
