Autoroute du Soleil

In Autoroute du Soleil (2021–present, Reprodukt), Baru—the series’ defining artist—trains his unflinching eye on the frictions of modern France, following a single, powerful issue that captures a charged moment along the sun-drenched highways of the south. Known for his gritty, socially conscious storytelling, Baru distills a lifetime of observation into a taut, atmospheric vignette of class, race, and the open road.
