"The Handbook project is a poetic cartography of sites dedicated to research. In such places, the functioning of our environment, of nature and of our body is measured and analysed for further understanding. In this project, I focus on do-it-yourself gestures and on the modeling of reality performed by researchers. Therefore, I have depicted contemporary research (public, private and civic) and what forebodes our future. Through a non-linear narration allowing me to transition from trivial to complex or even absurd subjects, this body of work tells the story of life. In a world where seasons no longer exist and where many people are no longer interested in what is inside objects, our environment seems very disconnected from the world of knowledge and from how it came into being. This work thus comes from the desire to better understand how our environment is studied and created." Marie Quéau
"We can fix us. This is now a truism no longer antiquated by the historicism of spirituality. You no longer need flee the bargain that you protracted at birth like so many measles and mumps to the contrary of this vaccination, YOU are the now. YOU are the antidote to your fears. YOU can build yourself anew. Let us consume the NEW. Let us disregard the discrepancy of YOUTH. Let us rejoice in a new AGE and a new awareness of SELF. YOU are the means to an ever-lasting version of YOU plugged in, booting and charismatically recalled from the scrapheap and latex of your memories. Without YOU, there is no US and we benefit from your approval. Consider our offer as a testament to YOUR value. You are NOW. Welcome, this is YOUR handbook to better Living." Brad Feuerhelm, afterword (extract)
