A collection of works by French graphic designer Fanette Mellier. This book divides the 24 hours of a day into one-hour segments, allowing readers to glimpse the scenes depicted across 24 double-page spreads. With every turn of the page, the changing colours bring to light the passage of time and the small miracles that can occur on any day of life. The gentle warmth of a spring afternoon gradually transforms into the frost of night, tracing this transition. A mountain cabin, a clock, a cat, a ball, fireflies... there are countless discoveries to be made. Layers of ink bring a delicate yet complex spring day to life, inviting readers to enjoy this unique world.
Panorama is the contemplation of a single landscape printed 24 times, once for each hour of the day. Page after page, the changing colours reveal the passing of the hours and the little miracles that are part of any given day in a life. On this particular day, the gentle warmth of a spring afternoon gradually gives way to the evening’s nocturnal frost; nature awakens and eventually drifts back to sleep. There is an element of child’s play in the observation of changes in the details from one page to the next: the cabin, the clock, the cat, the ball, the firefly… and the list goes on! Fanette Mellier’s Panorama is a world in which layers of ink reveal a subtle yet intricate spring day.
