Conventum

In the quiet, unsettling world of Conventum, Pascal Girard crafts a single-issue meditation on isolation and community, published by Delcourt in 2011. The story follows a man who retreats to a remote religious convent, only to find his solitude disrupted by the strange, silent rituals of its inhabitants. Girard’s minimalist linework and muted palette amplify the tension between inner peace and external unease, making this a quietly haunting exploration of belonging.
