Abstract

L'architecte néerlandais Theo Deutinger propose, à travers un travail iconographique, ce qu’il identifie comme l’expression quotidienne des tyrannies et cruautés du 21e siècle : murs, clôtures, barricades, cellules de prison, matériels de contrôle des foules, camps de réfugiés, démolition, façons de faire circuler les animaux dans les abattoirs et d'autres dispositifs destinés à contraindre la liberté Handbook of Tyranny' portrays the routine cruelties of the twenty-first century through a series of detailed non-fictional graphic illustrations. None of these cruelties represent extraordinary violence. They reflect day-to-day implementation of laws and regulations around the globe. Every page of the book questions our current world of walls and fences, police tactics and prison cells, crowd control and refugee camps. The dry and factual style of storytelling through technical drawings is the graphic equivalent to bureaucratic rigidity born of laws and regulations. The level of detail depicted in the illustrations of the book mirror the repressive efforts taken by authorities around the globe
