Les Désobéisseurs #[nn]

A striking 2013 French-language release from Vide Cocagne, Les Désobéisseurs presents itself as a collection of interviews with public service workers — "entretiens avec des agents du service public" — whose voices are rarely amplified. The cover sets a quietly powerful tone: a long line of stylized figures in muted tones gives way to a single acrobatic stack of people reaching upward toward a STOP sign, rendered in bold red against a spare, graphic backdrop. It's a visually arresting image that perfectly captures the tension between institutional conformity and individual acts of resistance.
