This project was conceived as part of the temporary exhibition Grandeur Nature 2025, led by the Atelier de Didactique Visuelle at HEAR in Strasbourg. The in-situ installation measures 200cm × 100cm and is made of wood and Plexiglas.

I highlighted the former Geistel printing house through four archive photos redrawn in dotted lines. The installation, intended for local residents, combines testimonials and images to revive memories of the place. The drawings on Plexiglas are superimposed on the printing house, inviting a sensitive and participatory reinterpretation of history. Each panel explores a theme (family, lithography, workers), supported by typography that evokes a memory in motion.
