Quelque chose nous a échappé #[nn]

A striking dark silhouette of a figure set against a vivid, fragmented background of deep reds, pinks, mauves, and cool blues gives this 2016 Vide Cocagne release an immediately arresting visual identity. The title — Quelque chose nous a échappé ("Something escaped us") — floats within the silhouette in handwritten lettering, lending the cover an intimate, almost confessional quality. Created by Juan Pablo Miño and Gwendoline Blosse, this is the kind of work that draws you in with its bold graphic sensibility before you've even turned the first page.
