The most anticipated graphic novel of 2024, concluding the story of young Karen Reyes, the most inspiring «monster» in contemporary fiction.
Set against the tumultuous political backdrop of late '60s Chicago, My Favorite Thing Is Monsters Book Two is the eagerly awaited conclusion to one of the most acclaimed graphic novels of the past decade. Presented as the fictional graphic diary of 10-year-old Karen Reyes as she tries to solve the murder of her beloved and enigmatic upstairs neighbor, Anka Silverberg, a holocaust survivor, while the interconnected stories of those around her unfold.
In Book Two, dark mysteries past and present continue to abound in the tumultuous and violent Chicago summer of 1968.

Ferris's exhilarating cast of characters experience revelations and epiphanies that both resolve and deepen the mysteries visited upon them earlier. Visually, the story is told in Ferris's inimitable style that breathtakingly and seamlessly combines panel-to-panel storytelling and cartoon montages filled with B-movie horror and pulp monster mag iconography.
S'enforester est né de la rencontre d'une photographe, Andrea Olga Mantovani, et d'un philosophe, Baptiste Morizot, avec la forêt primaire de Bialowieza, en Pologne.

En 2017 lors des Rencontres d'Arles, Audrey Tautou révélait sa pratique photographique avec une exposition de travaux entamés depuis deux décennies. Avec le livre Superfacial, elle reprend une partie de ces images, mais va encore plus loin en dévoilant son regard interrogateur et espiègle sur le monde et sur elle-même. Elle questionne son statut de vedette en explorant avec facétie son image en se mettant elle-même en scène. Mélangeant des textes très personnels, des autoportraits, des lettres de fan et de nombreuses surprises, elle dresse en creux un portrait très intime qui permet de rentrer dans le fond de son âme. L'humour et le second degré ne sont jamais loin et viennent se mélanger avec des réflexions profondes et déroutantes. À travers une série d'autoportraits, en contrôlant chaque aspect de ses photos, elle crée des compositions élaborées et humoristiques qui exposent intentionnellement leur caractère artificiel. Ces récits photographiques construisent une image alignée avec son regard critique, proposant une vision alternative de l'actrice et la star que le public pense connaître. Elle y présente également deux autres séries : l'une composée de plus de 500 portraits de journalistes réalisés pendant la promotion de ses films au fil des années. Elle interroge ainsi le processus de médiatisation. Elle pose aussi son appareil photo sur des anonymes photographiés de dos, échappant de ce fait à leur regard.

Grudgingly, the two begin to collaborate, and what comes out of it is astounding and revealing for both of them. Pixels of You is about the slow transformation of a rivalry to a friendship to something more as Indira and Fawn navigate each other, the world around them-and what it means to be an artist and a person.

Les photographies prises par Bastien Deschamps à la frontière du
fleuve Evros qui sépare la Turquie et la Grèce nous donnent un
aperçu de ce qui se joue aux frontières, d'un bout à l'autre de l'Europe.
Le fleuve de l'Hèbre, consacré par les mythologies grecques
et orientales, est devenu une scène de crime, où l'orchestration de
la violence d'État ré-organise l'espace, se déployant souvent horschamp,
restituée par les récits de celles et ceux à jamais marqué.e.s
dans leur chair. La réalité de la présence migrante s'en trouve neutralisée,
spectralisée, et il ne faut rien moins qu'un détour par l'abstraction
du concept et l'idéalisation de l'art pour réveiller les fantômes
et démaquiller le réel.
La philosophe Sophie Djigo nous invite à penser avec la frontière,
c'est-à-dire à « penser à gué », en suivant les méandres de l'Evros
et les ambivalences des acteurs qui incarnent la frontière : personnes
exilées, garde-frontières, pêcheurs, passeurs, médecins-légistes...
Traverser le fleuve revient à éprouver les nuances plus fines de la
réalité aux frontières, où se noue toute une série de paradoxes, dont
la philosophie tente de rendre compte en réajustant la pensée au
réel.
