Shell service across the Sahara

Most of the time, Philippe Weisbecker's drawings document series of objects or architectures. Often, these series are recorded in old school notebooks or sketchbooks. This new facsimile is no exception to the rule : administrative buildings, trucks, mosques and pumps inhabit a desert of paper with enigmatic logic. For this new work, the author was inspired of a “Guide to Automobile and Air Tourism in the Sahara”, intended for a wealthy clientele eager for adventure. The opportunity for Weisbecker to immerse himself in the environments that were described to him when he was a child, by his father who lived there in the 1930s.
