Expanding the comic book form into installation, Das Stadtschaftschaubild, an invented compound word, literally translates to ‘the cityscape diagram’. By unfolding multiple narratives through the gallery space this work continues the themes from Psychogeographies (2009), The Wave Collapses (2006) and Singularity (2002) to investigate and reveal the probabilistic nature of the urban environment.
The viewer is invited to become the absent protagonist through a subjective experience of space, visualising the imprint of our conditioning through architecture and asserting the gaze of the (historically absent) female flâneur.
The installation is then documented and transformed into a comic (of sorts).
So on the news front: I finished up at VCA last year and have been working at expanding the comic book form into installation. What this means is instead of being limited to the page I am using the comics form in the gallery space – and then making a publication from that.
After this I’m off to Berlin for a while, I got accepted into the Culturia artist-in-residency program and going to spend some time in the “fatherland”.
See you soon

Salut à tous,
Merveilleux, splendides auteurs, dessinateurs, acteurs, musiciens,
etc… du Poulpe n°4 !
Si le coeur vous en dit, réservez-donc votre fin d’aprèm du mercredi 25
novembre pour venir festoyer (goûter-apéro) avec le Poulpe à Strasbourg
(au Troc’afé…) !
Et si l’envie vous prend de proposer une animation particulière, il
devrait déjà y avoir un peu de sérigraphie, de musique et danse folles
(merci Céd, cool !); les desinateurs, les acteurs… ont-ils envie de
dédicacer ? les autres de proposer un truc spécial ?… Tenez-nous au
courant de vos idées, par rapport au sujet (La f*o*/l/i*e*…) ou à vos
planches, et sinon, venez avec tous les enfants que vous pourrez !
Pour ceux qui n’habitent pas Strasbourg, le Poulpe ne peut, hélas, vous
défrayer pour venir à sa fiesta, mais vous loger oui, avec grand
plaisir… Le poulpe adore partager son antre.
Bien le bonsoir à tous, et à bientôt !
Ariane, secrétaire du Poulpe pour ce soir.
