The Observatory
Conceived by artists in their relation to photography, original pieces of work are suggested to fill the page's space . This page is their unique place of appearance. Being part of this creative game, the printing techniques fulfill each work's requirement : process-printing, two-colour printing, spot colours... Each book is determined by a theme, which also defines the constraints of what is considered to be a tool of research and creation.
