Brèves gathers 40 newspaper clippings that Jean‑Luc Moulène has individually altered and recontextualized.

Each facsimile clipping has been hand-glued into the book and modified by the artist through erasure, annotation, overpainting, or typographic intervention. These subtle acts of disruption transform media fragments into poetic and critical reflections on public discourse.

The work exemplifies Moulène’s artistic method, where mass-circulated images and language are dissected to expose their ideological constructs. His minimal yet precise gestures operate at the intersection of media critique, conceptual rigor, and material presence.

Published in a signed and numbered edition of 400 copies (this copy: #316), Brèves is now considered a seminal artist’s book—an early expression of Moulène’s exploration of authorship, visibility, and the politics of communication.
