I Caught You

I caught you is an editorial work inspired by Steven Spielberg's film Catch Me If You Can, which recounts the life of the famous fraudster Frank Jr. Abagnale.

Putting myself in the shoes of an investigator and a forger, I catalogued the various documents forged by F. Abagnale that appear in the film. I then recreated them as facsimiles and incorporated them into the edition.

These documents interact with scenes from the film in which they appear, the text of Frank Abagnale’s autobiography (which inspired the film), as well as excerpts and images from the book The Art of the Steal, in which the forger shares his knowledge of forgery and explains how to protect oneself from fraud.
