Abecedarium (from the Latin abecedarius, relating to the abc”) is a visual aid presenting all the symbols of an alphabet, almost always listed in alphabetical order.

Aimed at a young audience, to allow them to discover the local culture of Normandy, to enrich their vocabulary or to develop their artistic sensitivity through a playful and educational work, this primer also offers adults a colorful, subtle, and offbeat exhibition.

My approach consisted of infusing each image with a story without words but which spoke of words. To do this, I paced up and down Normandy, from Utah Beach, to the cliffs of Étretat, via the Cerza Zoo. I met incredible people there: a superstar jockey, local teenage swimmers, a fan of photos of waves, a former mayor with a passion for model trains and a very young docker…

Thus, this “empty palette” has been gradually filled, more than 26 times, with color, poetry, and humor, so that each image and letter embodies a story, fantastic tale to be told, emanating from my inner imaginary world.
