Le Droit du sol, Journal d'un verttige

In June 2019, Étienne Davodeau undertook, on foot and backpack, an 800 km journey, between the cave of Pech Merle and Bure. From cave paintings, still protected treasures of humanity, to nuclear waste buried underground, a misfortune foretold for living species.

Étienne Davodeau, a sapiens among sapiens, questions our relationship with the ground. As a walker-observer, it warns of an imminent collective vertigo and invites you to travel through time and space.

In this walk through France, he is sometimes accompanied by friends, his partner, but also specialists, whom he summons on these trails to tell us the unique history of the soil of our planet, or that of nuclear power and its waste, dangerous for several hundred thousand years.

On the fringes of testimony and augmented journalism, the Droit du sol marks Étienne Davodeau's great return to reportage comics.
