Ægis is a playing card project focusing on mythologies from the silk road. Everything started with the idea to expand the named suits to other cultures, and through researches on the medium and its travels around the globe and place in cultural exchanges, this direction was chosen.
Research included discussions with Issy Playing cards museum curator, researches and collection of tales and myths on the Grand Est territory, and public workshops on card games, such as Mondomonstre, at Moyeuvre-Grande.
Such a long term project was made possible through funding by the Région Grand Est, diverse residency programs where workshops and research entwined, such as les Ateliers Médicis Création en Cours, and a Kickstarter. Many thanks to all sponsors for allowing this project to come true!
Cards where finally printed in the Grand Est, in a eco-conception effort, limited run will be printed at L'atelier aux Lilas pour la typographie et l'estampe in july 2026.
Amarna in an ARG game inspired by escape games and adventure games where the player solve an archeological mystery by scanning physical objects and placing them in scenes.
Prototype was crafted for East Game's les Chimérides residency program as a team project with programmer Lisa Hersant. Game design and interactions were designed collectively, then work was split: Lisa built the game architecture and realized the 3d Modelling while we focused on art direction and story.
The program took place in Strasbourg, at Les Ateliers Éclairés, where access to a fablab allowed us to do 3D printing and laser cutting & engraving.
