À toi pour la vie #[nn]

Published by Editions du Zebu in 1991, this French album from creator Pichon announces itself with a striking cover: a contorted, flame-engulfed figure perched atop a decorative pedestal, their body twisted into an almost impossible arc as fire blazes around them. The image balances the visceral and the theatrical — part circus act, part fever dream — and sets an unmistakably bold, surreal tone for whatever lies within.
