The Project
Work
In March 2020, France was locked down for the first time due to the Covid-19 pandemic. A difficult time for many people, but also a time of creativity and resilience. This is what the book ‘Le confinement vu de nos fenêtres’ by artist Jordane Saget shows. In this book, Jordane Saget asked his audience to send in a photo of their point of view during the lockdown. He received over 350 photos, which he then selected and reworked. The photos selected show the diversity of French people's views during the lockdown. They show balconies in bloom, families reunited, deserted streets, urban or natural landscapes. Each photo is a unique testimony, a snapshot of life during lockdown. Some photos are cheerful and optimistic, others are darker and more wistful. But all of them are full of emotion. The book is a fine tribute to the creativity and resilience of the French people. It shows that, even in difficult times, art can help us find hope and beauty. Profits from the sale of the book ‘Le confinement vu de nos fenêtres’ will be donated to Restos du Cœur, an association that helps people in precarious situations.

Jordane Saget
PARISIAN STREET ARTIST
Like Keith Haring in the streets of New York in the 80s, Jordane's work shapes the identity of Paris today. For over a decade, Jordane has developed a unique visual style, based on a trio of evocative yet enigmatic lines, becoming a distinctive element in the world of Parisian street art. Since 2015, he has been criss-crossing the streets of Paris to draw his lines with chalk or a brush - without ever signing his works. In just a few years, he has created nearly 2,000 works, both ephemeral and permanent. His work is gaining increasing attention, and has been the subject of several exhibitions, as well as leading to more and more collaborations with various artists and organisations: Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Agnès b., Printemps, Les Enfoirés, la Samaritaine... And the lines continue to weave.
