A silent narrative about vaporous monsters drifting through a blackened, deserted city. What happened? Where do they come from, what are they looking for, why are they here and what are they doing? Nobody knows. The book opens by recalling that the French language once had two verbs “errer”, one meaning to travel and the other to be mistaken. In this series Mathieu Van Assche pursues his principle of customisation and hybrid images that blend illustration and photography, taking the viewer on a graphic wander somewhere between Godzilla and Barbapapa.
