Théo Hennequin

Théo Hennequin is a Brussels-based graphic designer and visual artist with a conceptually driven practice spanning culture, music and sport. He collaborates with institutions, artists, festivals and collectives, from major museums to independent structures, to articulate distinctive positions across print, digital and motion.

His practice is rooted in the circulation of images and forms between swiss rigour, experimental layering and popular cultures, from the football stand to the mountain trail, using the distance between them as a space for inquiry.

About

Fantasme & appropriation

2021, Cambrai

Font: Helvetica (Max Miedinger)

Grey cover of the book *Fantasme & appropriation*, subtitled ‘Memories of an exhibition’ and mentioning Ralph Schraivogel’s exhibition at Le Signe de Chaumont and the ÉSAC workshop; the title, in serif capital letters, appears at the bottom against a black-and-white background of enlarged pages featuring concentric lines

Fantasme & appropriation is a publication that explores how our visual references influence creativity. Drawing inspiration from Cécile Dazord’s text Photographic Practice and Appropriationist Strategies, the book deconstructs, reframes and recombines photographs of exhibitions and everyday surroundings to create new images.

Each visual becomes material and a sensory experience, transforming the act of appropriation into a creative process. The printed object, in black and silver, halfway between an artist’s book and an exhibition catalogue, makes the print a medium in its own right, where the work extends and reinvents itself, suggesting an infinite cycle of fantasising and visual transformation.

A set of six double-page spreads from *Fantasme & appropriation*, in black, white and grey: pages of text and photographs from Ralph Schraivogel’s exhibition, the opening page of the chapter ‘Photographic practice and appropriationist strategies’, followed by grainy, cropped and pixelated images, with columns of text at the bottom of the page
