Magazine Etapes published my diploma project on second hand clothes. A pity, they didn't show the book cover pics...

In this book, you will find some examples of my work, e.g., editing, photographs, logos, designs, and packaging. I designed this book to interact creatively with the most important and critical issues of the actual news.

The driving force of this book is the fantasy generated by the mystery of a second hand cloth. But it is also a certain nostalgia of our childhood, when we used to borrow clothes to our mother or sister. All those treasures we discovered in our grandmother's attic and the olfactory sensations of old fragance mixed with dust are common to everybody. "Bribes de fripes" (fragment of second hand clothes) tries to describe these emotions thanks to an ensemble of drawings, photographs and a sample of tissue wrapped around the cover.

A typographic project where the basis of the small and capital letters is the same. The sliding suport allows one to play and show the small or the capital characters.

In the Netherlands, squats are houses of culture in extinction, altough they are occupied by people who have a great influence on the underground movements. This squat has been demolished and its occupants expelled a few weeks after this work. I wanted to keep a document of the people living there.

Steeve Iuncker was invited by the Haute Ecole d’Art et Design to discuss the issue raised by the journalist Myriam Poiatti concerning the use of press images, whose status is part document and part work of art. With the visual processing of the flyer, the transparency of the  newspaper merges the title of the article and a picture (of a football match) on the back. Does this intermediary status distort in any way the information conveyed by the image? The visual work tries to answer this question by recalling the conveying role that newspapers have played for photography. 

Personal project of photography on the theme of the sublime. What if sublime was what we can hardly explain and, yet, inevitably fascinate us. In this photograph, sublime is the mix of strangness and beauty produced by a girl-goddess emerging from the water of a mountain lake.

To go out, to face the social world and its looks, to submit to its codes, to surrender to its criteria of beauty, to dress up and make up. All these are part of the process we go through when we prepare to leave our place. This book is a photographic documentary on a woman about forty years old, who plans to go out. I follow her along all the steps, from the bath to the leaving, going through the hair removal, the makeup, the clothing. In the end, the question remains open: has there been a change? Is this woman more attractive? Is she a more “social” human being?

Theme of the mobility and of the dream, the “journey” renews every day the tight line between these two cities, characterized by a variable background but inevitably bound by the constant nibbling of the countryside by the towns. Sites and cranes punctuate this route. The texts are poems inspired by the travel, when the morning thoughts wander among trees and houses, or when one tries to escape from a tedious day by sinking into a fleeting reverie  

The exercise required creating a book by exploiting only its black-and-white typography, namely, the Sabon font of Jan Tischold. The text is a sustained reflection on the work of the typographer, and historically it answers a letter from his fierce opponent, Max Bill. The inspiring title, Faith and Reality, condenses the opposition between belief and reality. The cover attempts to contrast believing and seeing. The folding allows one to read either "faith" or "reality". The content of the book consists of the text by Tischold and unveils a fragmented typographic universe which is recomposed by a backfolding of the pages.
