Description

‘Engagements with the Absurd’ is an experimental book project that reinterprets Albert Camus’ philosophy of the absurd from a contemporary, personal perspective. In a world of political chaos, digital overstimulation, and ecological crisis, the question of meaning becomes both inescapable and repressed. The 178-page work, fully produced using risography, combines drawings, photographs, notations, and text fragments into a visual reflection on existence, contradiction, and resistance. The design and narration are associative, direct, and deliberately non-linear – a medium that not only documents but demands active engagement. The project is conceived as a personal examination, an aesthetic experiment, and a philosophical self-experiment.
