Pierrick GuiIléités

In this flamboyant and poetic graphic novel, Pierrick Gui plunges us into the heart of an island and its mysteries. A collection of fantasies and the most diverse mythologies, the island reveals here its multiple facets and contradictions. Proud, secret, prized, threatened. Isolated, yet constantly connected to the world and to people. Dreamt of, yet ransacked, invaded, shaped. Inhabited, yet threatening and dangerous. From one square to the next, Pierrick Gui’s kaleidoscopic island seems to become a being apart, multiple, changing – a monster with a thousand metamorphoses and colours. A man with a thousand faces, whose contrasts crush and animate him at the same time. An unclassifiable work of breathtaking vitality, Illéités scrutinises our wanderings and inner landscapes, to question creation itself and its origins. Beyond the island, Pierrick Gui offers an ode to “impermanence”, to life and its movements – an image of the world in perpetual evolution and recreation.
