Eric Baudelaire about the work:
“The French daily paper Le Monde comes out in the afternoon and is dated for the following day. In the past fifteen years, I have occasionally made collages from the images of a single daily edition of Le Monde. Together they have add up to a fragmentary and subjective visual record of events and culture since 2005, when I began my work as an artist.
Each piece is made according to a simple protocol: my collage of images is reproduced as a silkscreen print on the inside of a piece of glass mounted in a frame, with, below the surface of the glass, a text composed of all the words found on the pages of Le Monde from which the images are extracted. From a distance, this text becomes an abstraction behind the images, a grey pattern silkscreened onto paper. Each year I have made approximately a dozen collages. The framed format is 111.2 x 80.7 cm and each work from the Some Tomorrows series is unique, with one artist proof.”
