Sans voyageur is now available on and this week in selected bookstores in Paris!
(link in bio)
Taking the form of a large unbound tabloid, the book unfolds as a poetic editorial project: a constellation between print and sound design, weaving together photographic and textual landscapes with field recordings. Lia Séval brings together images rescued from her phone, pairing them in unexpected diptychs that blur the line between the real and the imaginary, the shaped and the untamed, the absurd and the reasonable, the forgotten and fragmented memory. Around them unfold prose poems that act as gloses, attempting to explain the unexplainable and capture fleeting beauty, accidental creativity. The book traces a journey without itinerary, without traveler.
The accompanying insert acts as an index. A poetic addition in which each vers refers back to textual fragments from the book. The cover draws inspiration from keyword clouds, those ultra-pop typographic collages found on ephemeral, discarded materials on our streets: a pizza box, a bakery bag, a vending machine cup. A repetitive, almost illegible motif, it condenses the words generated by the images it conceals, conjuring a landscape made of language.
