1939–1945. Paroles de Sélestadiens exhibition
Together with scenographer Patrick Keller, Atelier bora-bord conceived the design of 1939–1945. Paroles de Sélestadiens, an exhibition commissioned by the French city of Sélestat and shown in February 2025 at Arsenal Sainte-Barbe. From the studio’s website (translated):
An exhibition based on the rich and dense archives preserved in the collection of the Humanist Library of Sélestat. The graphic supports use metal file fasteners and binder clips to hang directly onto the grids, without masking artifices, highlighting the world of archivists. A colored background unifies each of the five different sections of the exhibition. The Trabis typeface is used to compose all the texts in a single weight, giving a consistent tone to this extensive body of work. Large hanging banners – kakemonos – share testimonials from elders, rekindling the emotional memories of events that happened 80 years ago.
