La vie malgré tout

This is the 5th year in a row where we do an annual report for Ag2r La Mondiale, a non-profit insurance company. The concept for 2021 is "Life whatever the weather". This annual report is made as an archive piece to remember what we went through in 2021 in France. It shows that beyond Corona restrictions lock downs pain and sadness, actually life and joy are stronger and always occur, not necessarily when expect them. The type La vie malgré tout (Life whatever the weather) is repeated on every single image, interacting with the photos, emphasizing at the same time the restrictions and the windows of joy. The photographs are a documentary of 2021, they are next to a diairy of the 12 months (12 spreads), written very soberly, mixing universal personal events and the world news. The annual report is part of a collection initiated in 2017, same format, same grid, same stylesheet. The goal of this year was to make a report that was simpler/ cheaper/ faster to produce (no pantone, no folds) while keeping the emotional intensity of the previous years.
