research & editorial
The Obstinate Refusers is a visual catalogue gathering a corpus of images collected between November 2024 and June 2025. Conceived as a non-systematic atlas, it offers a fragmented and discontinuous reading, structured around tensions between editorial objects, production gestures, political situations, and graphic forms.
Far from archival or indexing logic, its random layout and non-hierarchical structure aim to reveal sensitive relationships between elements, outside traditional discursive frameworks. The edition acts as a space for confrontation, friction, and interpretation.
This object is part of An Epoch of Rest, a graphic design diploma project extending a theoretical research initiated in a thesis on the contemporary mutations of the editorial production and distribution chain. The broader project explores the conditions of creation, circulation, and transmission of editorial forms, through a contributive platform and a series of material experiments.
