This book presents a series of drawings entitled « 80 dessins de la France » (80 drawings of France), realized during the year 2000, for an installation exhibited notably at the 5th Lyon Biennale. Faire des cartes de France (To make maps of France) is a funny and bawdy play of words : “A friend visited me while I was drawing maps of France, in 2000. Smiling, he taught me that ‘making maps of France’ was an expression to name the nocturnal emissions of the young king Louis XIII!” (Annette Messager).
