THE EPISTOLARY NOVEL GOES ONLINE
The letters become messages. The salon becomes a screen. Suddenly, Laclos feels alarmingly current.
In Les Liaisons dangereuses, desire travels through language. So do manipulation, seduction, jealousy, reputation and power. The medium was the letter. The mechanics are still very much alive.
Sang Mauv translates Choderlos de Laclos's 1782 novel into the visual language of contemporary messaging. Its 175 original letters become illustrated conversations, DMs and digital encounters.
Nothing is simplified. Nothing is rewritten. The text remains Laclos. Only the medium changes.
