About the work

The house at Tansonville points to Proust’s final volume, Time Regained. It marks a return: the end of a rapid rewind through one’s life in text, and an understanding of how things really were.

To regain time is to recover one’s life and oneself. To arrive at the truth carrying memories of people and places. In this work, the house is the point of that return.

I released the Au Pont Rouge typeface in Ho Chi Minh City and named it after the building at the Red Bridge in Saint Petersburg. The first word I set in it was “Proust”.
