“Nonsense is the art of deliberately standing on your head.”
– Robert Benayoun
Current Excavations is a book that brings together 91 illustrations created during my exploration of nonsense and humor. The title of the book refers to the idea of digging into the unknown, like an inner excavation where forgotten fragments, unconscious layers and random shards are uncovered and rearranged into new meanings.
The drawings emerged from an intuitive and playful process: fragments of language, everyday thoughts and absurd associations became starting points for visual experiments. By breaking words out of their usual context, new narratives took shape, sometimes humorous, sometimes nonsensical, always questioning what is considered logical.
The book has no chapters and no fixed sequence. Each illustration stands on its own, like an artifact found in the excavation, inviting viewers to create their own connections. Together, they form a collection that blurs the line between sense and nonsense, showing how humor and absurdity can open unexpected perspectives.
Current excavations, in my head, through nonsense.
