Collection of 30 issues of the weekend supplement of the newspaper Libération. Sandwich was launched on November 17, 1979. It brought together all the classified ads that had previously been published in the newspaper. There we find in particular advertisements posted by prisoners in the most beautiful libertarian spirit of the 70s. But more than a simple compilation of classified advertisements (which themselves are quite extraordinary in their genre), Sandwich is also a very rich testimony from the early 80s. Reports, chronicles, guides, rock news, artistic essays, columns, pornography, in short a fireworks display of all freedoms with the added bonus of a layout to which collaborated with many young avant-garde artists (Philippe Morillon, Bazooka, Elli Medeiros. Marie France, Jenny Bel’Air, Romain Slocombe…)
