Anne Brugni et McCloud Zicmuse Festin

“After BONJOUR, and the cycle of the day, then CHEMIN, the story of the origins of a rock, this final FESTIN completes a trilogy of contemplative albums dedicated to nature and the elements.

This new variation offers a reflection on the earth as a nurturer. Through a series of minute events, he shows how living things and matter interact. The transformation of wheat into bread is shown in detail, right down to the chemistry of the bacteriological elements. Fermentation, at the heart of the book, allows us to reflect on the organic aspect of the process. The book is conducive to graphic experiments: how to show the bacteria in action, the fermentation. But also how to evoke smells and sounds through images.

Since CHEMIN, the cut out papers and the matted papers that she makes herself are mixed in her images. In FESTIN, she uses the airbrush, a new technique that allows her to enrich her formal repertoire. She uses this tool to produce new graphic effects and thus create new sensations.”
