The_11_collection_ My friend will be the first of the « The 11 Collection » collection as it was the first to be published by L’atelier RisographiqueThe idea for **The 11
Collection** emerged from the meeting of two practices that, while rooted in different fields, share a common belief: creation gains meaning when it reveals the people who build.
On one side, a venture firm accustomed to working closely with founders, where human relationships form the foundation of trust. On the other, an independent publishing house that has long supported emerging photographers by giving them space for genuine artistic freedom.
Both approaches are guided by the same attention to individual journeys, to the inner qualities that drive action and make progress possible. Through years of open conversations, this shared outlook naturally became a point of connection.
From this convergence came the idea of a collection that brings forward the human forces behind entrepreneurship.
**The 11 Collection** took shape as an editorial project where photography and entrepreneurial experience interact, each illuminating the other. laure_cb Magnifique !

For image editionsbessard The best typographic graphic designer in France says: A logo proposal for the collection. I like the game of counter-forms where the two draw one. There is this idea of meeting two personalities: a photographer and an entrepreneur. There is also the exaggerated oblique that brings dynamics and moves forward.
It also says that it is a cutting-edge collection, which announces the future.

Eruption (2024) is a pseudo-documentary project consisting of 40,000 hand-crafted red-winged bugs (known as soldier bugs in Ukraine and gendarmes in France), installed across three contexts — a room, the human body, and food. The insect invasion serves as an allegory for the Russian occupation of Ukrainian territories, reflecting the gradual takeover of safe spaces, the human body, and everyday life, revealing vulnerability, fear, and destruction.

Last Risography book printed with love at home. She said: Je m’appelle Maryline, je suis Française et escXrt à Paris depuis Janvier 2015.
J’ai tout de suite compris que ce que j’allais voir, entendre et expérimenter, allait rapidement m’atteindre et transformer ma vision du monde tel que je le connaissais jusqu’ici.
Je ne pouvais cependant imaginer à quel point.
Assez rapidement, j’ai ressenti le besoin de garder un souvenir de ce que je venais de vivre et de l’homme qui me l’avait demandé. J’ai pris des photos, il fallait être rapide pour ne pas que le client change d’avis, c’était un cadrage spontané, sans mise en scène, je voulais être la plus juste et honnête possible sans y mettre d’affect. Juste figer la scène, figer cet homme, sa position, son regard et l’emprisonner à jamais dans ce cadre blanc, avoir un trophée de ça, un témoignage visuel; celui de l’écrasement d’un homme par sa soif de plaisir immédiat.
J’ai commencé à tout archiver, chaque passe, chaque client, chaque appel, textos, mail, lettres de certains de mes clients.

The Cuvée Charlotte 2018 from Domaine de is not merely a wine—it is a poem incarnated in the glass. Born on the secret slopes of the canton of Neuchâtel, it carries the modesty and nobility of the land that saw it ripen, shaped by the attentive care of a viticulture respectful of nature’s rhythms.
Its ruby robe, radiant as a flame of youth, catches the eye and holds it. To those who know how to approach, its fragrance opens like a bouquet of confessions: cherry mingles with blackberry, violet whispers its discreet grace, and darker echoes—graphite, flint—recall the depth of the limestone soil that feeds its roots.On the palate, it is a vivid, proud caress: the velvet of a silky texture, the freshness of a clear breath, and the firmness of a tannic structure, upright as a truth that cannot be denied. Its momentum is sustained, the finish unfurls like a well-measured phrase, leaving behind the echo of an almost saline flavor, limpid as a confidence murmured at dusk.
Here, spice and chocolate enrich the whole, like two complicit shadows that grant the light its intensity. The balance is perfect: a wine at once ardent and restrained, generous without ever losing composure—like a heart that beats strong, yet still knows how to remain silent.

In a world of constant change, photography transforms itself, offering a fresh perspective on reality and its representations. Linda Zhengova embodies this new generation of artist-authors, where subjectivity intertwines with the archive, giving rise to a powerful dialogue between the intimate and the collective. Published in risograph by Éditions Bessard, her project—born almost by chance—reveals a singular journey, that of Ukrainian traveling models, figures both strong and vulnerable, embodying an invisible truth that the artist intensely explores.
At the intersection of their portraits and landscapes from her homeland, Zhengova creates a space of encounter, tension, and departure, where the body becomes more than a form: a passage, a portal toward erotica charged with emotions and energy. This fragile yet fiercely insistent work restores creativity in its purest state, born from chaos, showing how contemporary photography remains more than ever a reflection and agent of a society that is both anxious and passionate. A rare, limited, and signed edition that stands as an embodiment of the art of intimacy and uprootedness. .anderson
