Pretty walks to the Black Beaches

Pretty Walks to the Black Beaches is a poetry collection published in 2022 by Demyx Reset (Loris Lavie). The book blends text and visuals to create an immersive experience. Each page features scanned texts written on a typewriter, which were transported to significant locations for the artist, adding an intimate, personal touch. The visual design was crafted by tattoo artist Aleks Rynd, contributing a unique aesthetic with minimalist and impactful graphic elements. Alongside the poetry, the book includes Polaroid photographs taken by Demyx himself, capturing moments of melancholy and isolation, further enriching the project with a personal visual dimension. Pretty Walks to the Black Beaches is an exploration of solitude and escapism, made more powerful through its design and imagery, grounding the emotions in reality.
