Confessions intimes is the catalogue of Benjamin Roudet's show at Rose Béton in Toulouse, from 4 to 7 October 2018, hung in a former chapel. For years Roudet followed the graffiti world through the night and into forgotten places, and the book keeps what lies just outside those scenes: empty sites turned into urban still lifes, friends caught with no role and no pose to hold. Nothing is staged, as Karine Mathieu writes, and yet everything looks like a film still.
Designed by Fred Nicolau of Tradition Moderne, who also designed Tilt's Peintures bruyantes, and printed in Launaguet in 100 numbered copies: the graffiti world seen from just outside the frame.
