Terry Bleu - Vertigo by Julie Legrand

Vertigo brings together, in the form of an inventory, a series of drawings of ladders of different types and uses. Drawn with a ruler, the ladders follow one another as variations around a single motif. Julie exhausts their forms while questioning their symbolism, cataloguing these objects that promise elevation while also evoking the possibility of falling. Between classification and obsession, Vertigo looks at the fragility of the gaze when facing height, transforming the repetition of the motif into a calm and paradoxical attempt to tame vertigo.

About Terry Bleu

Terry Bleu is an independent printing studio and publishing house founded in 2016 by Hugo Rocci. With a mission to transform the work of artists we love into fresh, one-of-a-kind prints, we get tickled by the playful, colourful, naïve, and surprising.

Our focus extends to the production of limited edition books through close collaborations with artists. With a more hands on approach to the bookmaking process, we redefine the traditional concept of the book, turning each piece into a distinct work of art. We see each publication as a portable exhibition, offering an accessible gateway from the art world to a broader audience.

In 2020, we relocated to the heart of Amsterdam, and that's when Brent Dahl joined the studio. Together, we manage printing inquiries, run the bookshop, organise book launches and so much more!
