Paris 2024
A 12-day drawing residency in Brussels, from August 29 to September 9, focused on capturing the essence of the Paris 2024 Paralympic and Olympic Games. Each day involved creating a visual report based on images from the day before, sifting through numerous visuals to pinpoint the narratives worth illustrating;
In addition to the visual reports, the residency served as a performance, challenging us to draw continuously on a single theme for 12 days in a row, mirroring the endurance tests faced by the athletes. The ultimate goal was to propose a memory of an event experienced at a distance. The residency took place at Working_From, a co-working space within the Hoxton Hotel, located in the Botanique neighborhood in Brussels.
