Sans Voyageur

Sans voyageur takes the form of a large unbound tabloid, a poetic editorial project built as a constellation between print and sound design, weaving together photographic and textual landscapes with field recordings. Lia Séval brings together images rescued from her phone, paired in unexpected diptychs that blur the boundaries between the real and the imaginary, the shaped and the untamed, the absurd and the reasonable, the forgotten and a fragmented memory. Around them unfold prose poems that act as gloses, attempting to explain the unexplainable, while her gaze captures fragments of beauty in a world marked by contradiction and obsolescence, revaluing them as treasures and happy accidents. Her photographs reveal an accidental creativity, emerging almost by chance from non-artistic contexts, without ever losing their fragile magic. Infused with the forces of childhood, unruly nature, and the sacred aura of found objects, the book traces a journey without itinerary, without traveler. Edited by Diorama in collaboration with Marie-Mam Sai Bellier, Sam Evers, and Yohann Henry, it is published in only 50 copies, combining indigo-printed covers, newsprint interiors, and a risograph poem-bookmark, accompanied by a soundscape accessible via QR code.
