The goal of this book was to present part of the "raw inspiration material" used by Ill-Studio team between 2007 and 2010 for creative purposes.
This material covers all kinds of fields and moments such as art, fashion, music, architecture, literature, geography, science, and popular culture regardless of its origin, importance or meaning. Each reference was archived in visual form as a catalogue of not-so-general knowledge that is key to Ill-Studio’s creative process, whether in a central manner or as an Ariadne's thread leading to yet another idea.
For the launch of their online video platform, i-D Magazine UK asked
Ill-Studio and model Lily McMenamy to collaborate on a film about secret passions. The resulting film is an imaginary yoga tutorial performed by Lily McMenamy and styled by former i-D fashion editor Erika Kurihara.
Artist Anri Sala and curator Christine Macel appointed Ill-Studio to create the identity of the French Pavillon during the 2013 edition of the Venice Biennalle. The resulting project was a minimalistic interpretation of Anri Sala’s take on Maurice Ravel ‘Concerto pour la main gauche’ adapted to various forms and mediums.
