ML7 — Underground Lisbon
Le Grand Jeu 15, passage de Ménilmontant, Paris, FranceSome scenes leave few traces, not because they were absent, but because they were never meant to be preserved. Beneath Lisbon, along the metro lines, a parallel history of graffiti unfolded over three decades, written in motion, erased, and rewritten again. ML7 brings together images from more than 60 contributors, many of them previously unpublished, […]

CazinoLA — Grey Zones & Pursuit
Le Grand Jeu 15, passage de Ménilmontant, Paris, FranceA story that begins with a disappearance, a name, and a trace that refuses to fade.

Holeg Spies – Echos des Origines
Le Grand Jeu 15, passage de Ménilmontant, Paris, FranceWhat if listening were humanity's founding gesture? In Echos des Origines, published by Signal Zéro, composer and sound researcher Holeg Spies traces an unbroken line from the resonant caves of the Paleolithic to the bass-driven warehouses of 1990s rave culture. He proposes what he calls écophonisme — an understanding of sound as a living organism […]

Yuki + Moresk — On Living Systems
Le Grand Jeu 15, passage de Ménilmontant, Paris, FranceSome projects begin as personal attempts to step outside existing systems, others as ways of rethinking them from within. This evening brings together two independent practices that question how we live, organise time, and define autonomy. L’antimanuel : La Cafardise stems from a year spent exploring life outside monetary structures. Through analogue photography and lived […]

Affichage Libre — Beneath the Walls
Walls are constantly speaking, layered with advertisements, announcements, fragments, and disappearances. With Affichage Libre, Joachim Romain transforms these urban surfaces into a field of experimentation, revealing unexpected forms hidden beneath the city’s visual noise. Working directly on posters found in public space, the artist tears, peels, and reshapes paper into temporary sculptural compositions. Photographed before […]

Tilt – Never Ending Story: Throw-ups, Traces & Erasure
Le Grand Jeu 15, passage de Ménilmontant, Paris, FranceDuring lockdown, Tilt — the Toulouse graffiti artist known worldwide for his work — set himself one rule: a throw-up a day. More than 700 appeared across his city, only to vanish soon after under layers of buff paint. Never Ending Story grew out of that obsessive, ephemeral practice — a deep dive into the […]

Métamorphe — From Blackletter to Cholo
Le Grand Jeu 15, passage de Ménilmontant, Paris, FranceGothic script was never meant to travel. It was built for Northern European scribes, carried to Spain, then loaded onto ships — and once it reached Mesoamerica it stopped behaving like a European alphabet. Blackletter absorbed whatever it landed in: colonial signage, devotional imagery, tattoo culture, the walls of Mexico City and the barrios of […]

La Chamba — Work, Travel & the Tourist’s Gaze
Le Grand Jeu 15, passage de Ménilmontant, Paris, FranceLa Chamba is what work is called across much of Latin America: the job, the hustle, the thing that fills the day and quietly organises everything around it — streets, houses, landscapes, and the very places tourism turns into scenery. Dorian André spent seven months between Mexico, Guatemala and Nicaragua photographing exactly that. A graphic […]

Trente-Cinq — Three Letters from Namur
Le Grand Jeu 15, passage de Ménilmontant, Paris, FranceAn MC warms up a crowd, somewhere in Namur, some year in the nineties: three letters, a group you don't need introducing, NBS, make some noise. That tape still exists, and so does the crew. Namur Break Sensation have been at it for thirty-five years, which in b-boy terms is closer to a geological era […]

Du bitume au sacré — Still Under Construction
Le Consulat Voltaire 114 Avenue Parmentier, Paris, FranceBefore Homecore, there was a kid from the banlieue raised the hard way, with street culture as a first language. That kid was Alexandre Guarneri. Thirty years after founding one of French hip-hop's defining labels, he has gone back through his own story to ask how you take apart what you were taught in order […]

Capuzzelle — Naming the Anonymous Dead
Le Grand Jeu 15, passage de Ménilmontant, Paris, FranceCapuzzelle are the anonymous skulls of Naples: for centuries, in the ossuaries and cemeteries of the city, the living would adopt one, give it a name and pray for its soul, in the hope that the favour might be returned. Andrea d'Avossa spent 2025 walking the Cimitero Monumentale di Poggioreale on that principle, though what […]
