Fitzrovia becoming Noho Square.

Fitzrovia then, now and to be.

This research aims at questionning/pointing out temporary hidden empty spaces,
caught in between what’s gone and what is to come.
This series of installation takes place in building sites in the changing urban landscape.
High wooden fences are hiding buildings being demolished or raised, leaving us with the feeling that a tower can appear or disappear in a night, as the whole process is hidden from us, while the result appears effortless in its (fake) instantaneity.
Tested visual solution: temporary hi-vi typographic installations

Silk-screened cotton bags and student-life related poster for Health Week at University of the Arts London.

Proposition for the branding of Health week, organised by the University of the Arts London.
Health week consisted of a number of mini-fairs and events around all the colleges concentrating on health, well-being and money (financial stability, eating on a budget, money saving etc).

I recently got commissioned by the Students Union of the University of Arts London to realise this thread map in order to promote Pathfinding.

Pathfinding is the fresher’s week organised by Arts London. This booklet details a week of introductions and workshops across Camberwell College of Arts, Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, Chelsea College of Art and Design, London College of Communication London College of Fashion and Wimbledon College of Art.

“to know (something) like the back of one’s hand”

1. (transitive, idiomatic) To be intimately knowledgable about something, especially a place.

Littéralement « connaître quelque chose comme le dos de sa main ».

Explanation: Do you recognize this intriguing globular cluster of stars? It’s actually the constellation of city lights surrounding London, England, planet Earth, as recorded with a digital camera from the International Space Station. Taken in February 2003, north is toward the top and slightly left in this nighttime view. The encircling “London Orbital” highway by-pass, the M25, is easiest to pick out south of the city. Even farther south are the lights of Gatwick airport and just inside the western (left hand) stretch of the Orbital is Heathrow. The darkened Thames river estuary fans out to the city’s east. In particular, two small “dark nebulae” – Hyde Park and Regents Park – stand out slightly west of the densely packed lights at the city’s core.

These pictures were taken during a few of my daily hour-long journeys from Aldgate East to Tooting Bec, and put together as a big informal cloud, as confused as my perception of time and space while traveling underground.

(I just remember a few of my favourite things…)
