L’Art de la Chasse and The Initiated and the Beast
About the book
The hunter would have been the first “to tell a story” because he alone was able to read, in the silent, nearly imperceptible tracks left by his prey, a coherent sequence of events. — Carlo Ginzburg
Young Swiss designer Régis Tosetti (born 1982 in Lausanne) presents an enhanced version of his thesis for ECAL
(University of art and design, Lausanne), in the form of an artist’s book.
Located somewhere between ethnographic investigation, photo-novel, and initiation epic, “l’Art de la Chasse” (“The Art of Hunting”) overcomes biased standpoints by inviting us to reconsider some fundamental processes related to this practice. Tosetti explores the universe of hunting with an extensive series of photographs produced in collaboration with Yann Gross, and concludes with texts introducing a selection of trophy-pictures written in collaboration with Joël Vacheron.
About the author
Régis Tosetti set up his graphic design studio in Zürich, in 2006 after his studies at ECAL. He came to London at the end of 2007
and has been collaborating with James Goggin (Practise studio) since June 2008.
The book launch will be followed by a slideshow screening and a DJ set by toot!. Accompanying the book will be two posters designed specifically for the launch.
