Exhibition catalogue of Le Parloir des souhaits [The Wishes Parlour], carte blanche to Duy Anh Nhan Duc at Musée national des arts asiatiques – Guimet, Paris, from 10th November 2021 to 7th February 2022.
Overall curating : Sophie Makariou
Curating : Duy Anh Nhan Duc and Olivia Brunet
To respond to the practice of artist Duy Anh Nhan Duc, whose base material is made up of elements of nature that surround us, the design of the publication (margins, type size, etc.) is based on the Fibonacci sequence, a succession of numbers that can be found in nature. In addition, the selected typeface (Immortel Infra) was reviewed for the occasion in order to use the golden ratio as a basis for the relationship between the x height and the ascenders/descenders. The physicality of the book echoes, by its softness, the lightness and fragility of the materials used by Duy Anh Nhan Duc.
