Jacques-Aurélien Brun - After Anna http://ja--brun.tumblr.com/

Title: After Anna Artist: Jacques-Aurélien Brun Additional contributor: ECAL Designer: Jacques-Aurélien Brun Editor: self edited Imprint: - Printer: Art graphic Cavin SA, Switzerland Publication date and place: June 2015)/ Renens, Switzerland Edition: 10 Format, binding: Softcover / Swiss Binding Size:  220 x 304 mm Number of pages and images: (120 pages / 89 images) Type of printing and paper:  digital / Quatro Silk 135g/ Sirio Color Blu 115g Book Description:

After Anna is a journey made from island to island where I follow my own quest searching for a mysterious fictional woman who is lost at sea. In the category of an enigmatic Road Trip, explore, off Sicily, some of the endless possibilities of what could have befallen her.For exemple caught in a fisherman’s net or hidden in a deep maritime cave.

I drew inspiration for my journey from The Odyssey when Ulysses tries desperately to reunite with Penelope, and by the brutal disappearance of Anna in L’Avventura of Antionioni. This trip is situated on the boarder between the quest of an old myth and an modern investigation that allow me, parallely, to looking for the roots of my culture.

The project is a book that is cut in five parts where some blue pages are used to separate them.

Regarding the content, I used several subjects as metaphor (for example: fishing and archeology) to evoke a global subject: The disappearance of a woman around the Islands off Sicily. This omnipresent woman in the book is more a ghostly and transcendental figure than a real person.
