Clément Cogitore

Designed with the graphic designers José Albergaria and Rik Bas Backer (Change is good), the book traces the chapters of this cruel tale, the images of this dream of isolation and communion with nature which gradually becomes ever darker leading inexorably to the twilight images of a world under threat from every angle. The texts by Léa Bismuth (an interview with Clément Cogitore) and Bertrand Schefer shed light on Clément Cogitore’s intentions and return to the extent of the failure of this communitarian utopia.  

“The Braguines foresaw the separation, break up and divorce from society. At the time of the fight, it is rather civilisation that imposes the choice of weapons, and the derisory defences Braguine has at his disposal to face the threat, when the village turns into a divided camp, gives the struggle majesty.”
— Bertrand Schefer
