The collection, started in 2018, is an ongoing project, taking no claim to meaning, blending scanography and photography to explore fragments of a trade shaped by time, chance, and memory. The publication was developed under the creative direction of Mathys Dos Santos, a 23-year-old Brussels-based photographer with a focus on archival storytelling and small print-run publishing. The book is a testament to the richness of forgotten material culture, placing itself at the crossroads of visual culture, industrial design, photography and archival research, documenting a lesser-known sector of the eyewear history through a curated lens.
