Every two years, the Souterrain Festival took place in Maxéville, gaining international recognition in the field of Body Art. For one month, exhibitors, visual artists, performers, choreographers, musicians, and street artists from around the world gathered around a specific theme.

Materia Prima Art Factory (the festival’s organizers) commissioned me to design their printed communication materials: flyers, leaflets, programs, urban posters, and exhibition catalogs. From the following edition onward, I also chose to take part as an exhibiting artist, in addition to my roles as graphic designer, artistic coordinator, and festival organizer. From 2007 to 2013, I worked on four themes : Monsters, Robots, Heroes, and Love, playing with the visual codes and icons specific to each culture. My role also involved bringing more color and a sense of conviviality to the festival, which was perceived by local residents as a “dark place with a bad reputation”.
