Language: French
Creator: Olivier Josso Hamel
Description: Following the illuminated inkjet of the inaugural volume, Olivier Josso-Hamel continues his autobiographical exploration. Still on radiological paper, he inspects the comics and the origins of his own practice: after an orange fire high in symbol and color, the author goes green, plant allegory steeped in hope salutary. In this second opus, a precise line serves a neat letter to probe a human and artistic journey built from childhood. Through the figures of his past, real or drawn, Olivier Josso-Hamel questions here memory and absence: when the family becomes world of silence, a father disappeared can hide many others. The comic strip and its part of the unconscious are strongly summoned here: after The Bad Head of Franquin Volume 1, this volume 2 pays homage to Hergé's L'Île Noire and ends with Dubout, Sempé, Reiser and Bretécher.
