Interested in the place of man in living things, and also in the degradation of the world around us, Swiss photographer Matthieu Gafsou shows in this large format book, a composite narrative that combines landscapes, sometimes tinted with a strange color, reportage portraits in B&W, or even urban views reworked with crude oil. A crepuscular atmosphere, a contaminated world as well as isolation, revolt, anger, yet also care are the thematic milestones which construct the dramaturgy of this narration.

The multi-sensory immersion in this visual corpus is enhanced with music created specifically for the book by Ripperton (via a QR code). As well as two texts: an essay by art historian Victoria Mühlig, which presents the different formal and aesthetic approaches to the series of Matthieu Gafsou, and a fiction by novelist Pierre Ducrozet, imagined specifically for this body of work.
