Les strates

Les strates, a French comic series launched in 2021 by Gallimard, is a single-issue work that examines the layered, often hidden histories beneath everyday urban life. The project is most closely associated with its creator, whose precise, observational storytelling peels back the physical and social strata of a city to reveal the personal and collective memories embedded in its architecture. Though brief, the series stands out for its meditative, archaeological approach to place and time, offering a quiet but resonant reflection on how the past shapes the present.
