Walkscapes

ポストモダ, pronounced POSUTOMODAN, is the Japanese term to name the postmodernist movement. It’s also the name of this book, a personal research I made between 2018 and 2019, while I was still living in Taipei. It includes a record of walks in search for postmodern buildings from Tokyo, Osaka and Fukuoka, as well as a collection of Japanese songs produced during the same period.

André had many cars. 24 cars, and he remembers them well. The models, their colors, and all the stories and the anecdotes that go with. Co-edited with Fockedey sisters, CARS is an illustrated book retracing the story of André’s cars and memories.

On the side of his main photographic project during an artist's residency in Taipei in 2011, British visual artist Alan Eglinton spontaneously noted down the texts he saw on people's t-shirts in the street or in public transports. While he was surprised at first by the English spelling mistakes in some of these texts, he then found a sense of black humor and of abstract poetry in others. This collection of 296 texts is the artist's observation of a local visual culture that grew on him.
