Visions du Réel the 2023 posters revealed

Visions du Réel is proud to unveil the series of posters for the 54th edition of the event (21–30 April 2023), which are the result of a collaboration between the graphic designer duo Alice Vodoz and Eilean Friis-Lund and the photographer Jules Moskovtchenko. A triptych made of documentary shots, combined with a flamboyantly colourful typographical design, lies at the heart of this visual identity.

The edition’s identity consists of perspectives, playing with scales, and mise en abîme. This proposal, designed and executed by the graphic designers Alice Vodoz and Eilean Friis-Lund alongside the photographer Jules Moskovtchenko, stages a multitude of aesthetic points of view and depictions: macro and micro, wide shot and close-up, digital and analogue… It is an artistic stance that pushes the concept so far that it literally turns traditional photography round, while infusing it with the codes of film for a highly playful finish. The bright yellow colour of the typographical work, which is in keeping with the iconic tradition of subtitling, enhances the posters with an equally old-fashioned and explosive finish.

 

The multiplicity of the points of view is compounded with abundant everyday scenes which are like symbols of our contemporaneity, blending the private and the public, mise en scène and impressions of reality. It is a project that suggests more than it reveals through images that cultivate their ambiguity and reflect the porous boundary that exists between fiction and reality, which is an essential dimension of Visions du Réel’s line of programming.
