I was once asked by my Italian friends .studio from to design a piece for a very long lasting spaceflight. This is how I ended making a one volume version of Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Time, as a measurable value, is a man-made creation set in accordance to earthly factors. Therefore, once away from Earth, eventhough the human need to follow the run of time remains, it nevertheless looses all significant relevance. This version of In Search of Lost Time offers therefore two levels of readability: an obvious one as a litterary piece, a time consuming occupation for a long journey; and a second one as a relative time marker with no defined context when flipped through.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Without altering the original text, the layout of Marcel Proust’s work was therefore redesigned in order to symbolize the run of time. ⁠⠀
The volume contains precisely 1440 pages (as the number of minutes in a day) divided into 24 booklets (for hours) of 60 pages each bound together. Each page is then marked with two subtle clock arms running through the book. Therefore page numbers become unnecessary and the various chapters of the book can be found on the table of content according to their position in time.⁠⠀
Lastly, as a long standing protection the cover of the book is made out of brass, the most commonly used material in clock mechanisms and the back of each booklet alternates between black and white as the grades that indicate hours on a clock face.⁠⠀

Honored to be part of the Kleureyck exhibition at celebrating Van Eyck’s colours in design.
A fantastic show curated by and .
After a successful opening yesterday evening, the museum unfortunately has to remain close until April 3rd because of the virus.
You’ll however have until September 6th not to miss it before it moves to Lille (FR) from October to January 2021.
Be patient it is worth it
