Editorial design for Flaneur magazine. “What could be more hostile to flaneuring (‘strolling’) than a highway? And yet, we have walked [on one]. We released this issue of Flaneur on the 50th anniversary of Paris’s Boulevard Périphérique highway. This street not only takes us to the border of the inner city of Paris and to the question of how its centralist power relates to its neighboring cities, but also to a hidden meaning of the word boulevard beyond its bourgeois glamour: a frontier, a device of control and fortification. Given the huge impact Parisian city planning and storytelling had on other cities, it’s a street that leads us to what is at stake locally while also highlighting urgencies transcending this road.”
