La valise égyptienne

2024

Artist book documenting a collection of ceramic objects found in Egypt. Combining photography and writing, the book uses different forms of representation to address questions relating to the construction of identity, the materialization of memory, truth and falsification, and the existence of things between worlds.

The book consists of two parts: the text (a collection of short stories) and a 5-meter-long leporello featuring photographs of the objects, taken by the Musée d ethnographie in Geneva.

In collaboration with Lucas Uhlman and Gregor Huber
