My work on DENATURALISMES editorial project for micro-book house Bernadette-Editions consisted in creating a series of post-cards and posters which present detailed chimeras of various animal and insect species in order to prompt an ambiguous feeling of attraction and aversion at the same time about these contradictory creatures and make the beholder feel uncomfortable about it. It was very important to make the viewer imagine very precisely the textures of the creatures' bodies.
On the back of each post card you can read a tiny resume of surprising characteristics of every chimera, and each cards false stamp was especially inspired by each character significant body part.

The set of ten laser printed postcards is wrapped in a handcrafted envelope made of silc-screen printed cotton fabric.
The silc-screen printed posters going with the postcards are the culmination of our work: by the different combinations of paper and ink colors the characters gain new visual characteristics and can be perceived differently.
