The book Ici ou ailleurs by Lisa Sartorio explores the representation of contemporary conflicts through photographs of cities devastated by bombings. Printed on Awagami Kozo paper, the images are manually manipulated by the artist through exfoliation, folding, or crumbling, transforming the surface into a fragile skin that evokes the vulnerability of memory.

The volume is presented in an elegant laser-engraved box, enhancing the value of the work and emphasizing its significance as an art object. This container holds 48 pages printed in duotone, produced in a limited edition of 350 copies. The choice of the box isolates the visual content, protecting it and giving it an aura of exclusivity. Enriched by a text by Maud De La Forterie, the book invites the reader to rediscover a tactile and intimate relationship with the images, offering a reflection on the emotional distance created by visual mediation.
