La valise égyptienne is an artist book that documents a collection of ceramic objects. These carry lived or invented stories, just like souvenirs brought back from travels. The collection is the result of a long-term project, which began in Egypt in 2015. It focuses on the materialization of memories and the historical and cultural construction of artifacts through fictional archaeology.
