Chantier interdit au public #[nn]

Part of Casterman's Sociorama series — graphic adaptations rooted in real sociological fieldwork — this volume by Claire Braud draws on an investigation by Nicolas Jounin to pull back the curtain on the hidden world of construction workers. The cover says it all: a visibly stressed worker in an orange safety vest shouts a warning to his crew — "Les gars!! L'inspection du travail va débarquer!! Y faut tout m'sécuriser!" — while a lone figure slips away into the background, capturing in a single panel the precarious, pressure-filled reality of life on a chantier. A sharp and socially engaged work from 2016 that blends documentary rigor with the accessible energy of the bande dessinée form.
