Typography workshop at Sorbonne university, Paris, France

In April 2010, the university of “Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne” contacted me to come up with a concept for a one-day workshop, as part of their Déjà Vu exhibition. I chose to work on the curating texts that had been featured in the catalog, and selected numerous examples of XIXth century woodtype alphabets from my personal library. Starting with that, students were asked to design words as graphic images.

Many thanks to Pauline Toulouzou and Bérénice Moulin for putting this together, and to the students for their participation. Hat tip to Malte Martin.
