Histoires de Vie : Rencontre photographique 2022

commission, illustrationVictoria SuppanComment

Illustrations for a short text by Sandro Marcacci

This was a particularly challenging project to illustrate.
This years edition of the Rencontre Photographique was centred around a short story or anecdote told by a narrator. This story was re-arranged in writing by an autor, and then enhanced visually by a photographer or illustrator.

I wish to thank the Château et Musée de Valangin for their help and letting me access the archives. Historical visual material is very precious for such a story.

The original drawings were done in ink and white pastel on toned paper. Prints available on request.

Working with Bijouterie & Charcuterie

Illustration commissioned for a screen-print on totebag

I had so much fun bringing this project to life for my friends at Bijouterie & Charcuterie.

There are only 100 bags made, so hurry to pick yours up in The Cachalot in La Chaux-de-Fonds.

The original drawing and an enhanced print are also available at the shop.

Enhanced print, with white ink and gold leaf

I called this piece “Farandole”, which is the name of a traditional dance, as it feels as if the elements of the illustration are having fun and dancing around the frame.
