DRONE CODEX

Created following the 2017 ADAGP Urban Art Revelation Award (Prix Révélation Art Urbain), this project led to a monumental mural in the subterranean spaces of the Palais de Tokyo for the LASCO Project.

The corridor was transformed into a primitive drone cave, combining abstract, archaic drawings with raw concrete architecture. Pictograms from a dedicated Drone Codex lined the space, culminating in a blue-lit atmosphere and a drone-like tape recording. Wooden drone amulets displayed on sand beneath spotlights completed the installation.

Two books accompanied the project: Drone Codex, a record of the pictogram vocabulary, and Dronologie, featuring project photographs accompanied by commentary from Egyptologist Dr. Jacques Guiter (and also my grandfather).
