En France, plus de 3 millions de personnes sont en situation d’illettrisme et bien plus sont en difficultés avec la langue française. Bien conscientes de leurs difficultés, fragilisées, elles souffrent d’un complexe certain et d’exclusion.
On considère comme relevant de situations d’illettrisme, des personnes de plus de seize ans, ayant été scolarisées, et ne maîtrisant pas suffisamment l’écrit pour faire face aux exigences minimales requises dans leur vie professionnelle, sociale, culturelle et personnelle. Ces personnes qui ont été alphabétisées dans le cadre de l’école, sont sorties du système scolaire en ayant peu ou mal acquis les savoirs premiers pour des raisons sociales, familiales ou fonctionnelles, et n’ont pu user de ces savoirs et/ou n’ont jamais acquis le goût de cet usage.
Il s’agit d’hommes et de femmes pour lesquels le recours à l’écrit n’est ni immédiat, ni spontané, ni facile, et qui évitent et/ou appréhendent ce moyen d’expression et de communication. Leur apprendre à lire, écrire et compter et ainsi à développer une certaine autonomie, telle est la mission de la Croix-Rouge engagée dans la lutte contre l’illettrisme.

In France, more than 3 million people are illiterate and many more are in trouble with the French language. Aware of their difficulties, weakened, they suffer from a certain complex and exclusion.
Illiteracy situations are defined as people over sixteen years of age who have been educated and who don't have sufficient literacy skills to meet the minimum requirements in their professional, social, cultural and personal life. These people who have been literate in the school system, have left the school system with little or bad acquired knowledge for social, family or functional reasons, and haven't been able to use this knowledge and/or have never acquired the taste of this use.
These are men and women for whom the use of writing is neither immediate, spontaneous nor easy, and who avoid and/or apprehend this means of expression and communication. Teaching them to read, write and count and thus develop a certain autonomy, is the mission of the Red Cross engaged in the fight against illiteracy.

Cette suite d'affiches opère de deux façons :
Tout d'abord, l'idée est de confronter le spectateur à un système de lecture qui ne lui est pas habituel, afin qu'il se rende compte par lui même de la difficulté que peuvent représenter les mots pour les personnes souffrant d'illettrisme.
Ensuite, lorsque l'on comprend le système, on lit trois mots en concordance avec cette souffrance qui est à la fois invisible, indicible (qui ne peut être dite ou traduite par des mots), et qui est donc illisible.

This serie of posters operates in two ways:
First of all, the idea is to confront the viewer with a reading system that is not his usual, so that he can see for himself the difficulty that words can pose for people suffering from illiteracy.
Then, when one understands the system, one reads three words in concordance with this suffering which is at once invisible (INVISIBLE), unutterable (which can't be said or translated by words) (INDICIBLE), and which is therefore illegible (ILLISIBLE).
