Attrition Art Residency

France, 2024

Developed during the Attrition Art Residency in rural France, INNER LOVE approached found publications and materials gathered on site as active carriers of knowledge and starting points for material research. Through collecting, replacing, and stitching, the project brought existing structures and vernacular forms into relation with the histories, landscapes, and manual practices encountered during the residency.

Book Interventions (Diptych)

LA SAINTE CHAPELLE

An intervention on one of two copies of the same publication, replacing its original illustrations with hand-embroidered pages developed from the visual language of the publication itself.

BECAUSE SINCE WE STARTED TO UNBURY WE FORGET

An intervention on the second copy of the publication, replacing its original illustrations with hand-embroidered pages developed from encounters with the vernacular visual culture of the Pauilhac region.

Both publications retain their original structure and are presented together as a diptych.
