Céline Pévrier
Founder & publisher at sun/sun book publishing house
Céline Pévrier is a publisher and founded sun/sun ten years ago. She shapes books at the intersection of several disciplines—photography, graphic design, and literature. She creates organic editorial objects, often akin to artists’ books, where the materials and techniques used are themselves languages. In the worlds she explores, narratives are embodied both within and beyond the pages, from the book itself to installation and performance, as exemplified by Frédéric D. Oberland’s Vestiges of the future.
In parallel, she is developing, with Laurie Bellanca (Lectures électriques – cut-up literary creation and live radio broadcast), the Maison des littératures vivantes (House of Living Literatures), a space for thinking, writing, reading, experimenting, and embracing what unfolds with, from, and around the book, from its creation to its sharing. Alongside Adrien Genoudet, she is developing Fléchette, a collection that brings together images from the Archives de la Planète and contemporary texts (Laura Vazquez, Muriel Pic, Marie-Hélène Lafon etc.).
Institutions such as the Albert Kahn Museum, Mécènes du Sud, the DRAC Alsace, and the ANFAA Chair in Visual Anthropology entrust her with the development of publishing projects. She collaborates with the designers Typical Organization in Athens, and her publications are regularly awarded (Chaumont Book Prize, finalist for the Nadar Prize, EBGR in Greece). Her publishing practice positions the book as a playground, a space for dialogue and openness that allows for multiple narratives of the worlds of yesterday and tomorrow.
