Ahoy Sailor! – A dive into the world of sailors by Daniel Rozensztroch

With Ohé Matelot!, Daniel Rozensztroch once again takes us into his fascinating world as a passionate collector and archivist of everyday life. After exploring the worlds of spoons ( Spoon ), herring ( Herring ) and objects in all their diversity ( A Life of Things ), this time he invites us to set sail.

This book is a visual ode to sailors and the maritime imagination. Rozensztroch brings together a unique collection of objects, images, and depictions of men and women of the sea. This voyage on the high seas reveals a stunning, sometimes strange, always captivating popular iconography—born of the tension between the unforgiving world of the ocean and the floating societies that survive within it.

As always, each element is carefully chosen, in a personal style that has become his signature. The result: a veritable visual feast blending antique toys, rare stamps, sketches by Jean Cocteau, and the captivating (and often provocative) words of Jean Genet.

A unique work, to be discovered like opening a treasure chest.
