La plupart du temps, les dessins de Philippe Weisbecker documentent des séries d’objets ou d’architectures. Souvent, ces séries sont consignées dans de vieux cahiers d’écolier ou de croquis. Ce nouveau facsimilé ne déroge pas à la règle : bâtiments administratifs, camions, mosquées et pompes habitent un désert de papier à la logique énigmatique. Pour ce nouvel ouvrage, l’auteur s’est inspiré d’un Guide du Tourisme Automobile et Aérien du Sahara, destiné à une clientèle aisée avide d’aventures. L’occasion pour Weisbecker de se replonger dans les ambiances qui lui étaient décrites alors qu’il était enfant, par son père qui y vécut dans les années 1930.

***

Most often, Philippe Weisbecker's drawings record series of objects or architectures. These series are usually recorded in old school notebooks or sketchbooks. This new facsimile is no exception to the rule: administrative buildings, trucks, mosques and pumps inhabit a paper desert filled with a cryptic logic. For this new book, the author was inspired by The Sahara’s Automobile and Air Tourism Guidebook, intended for a wealthy clientele eager for adventure. It is an opportunity for Weisbecker to immerse himself in the atmosphere described to him as a child by his father who lived there in the 1930s.
