7 series for 7 stories of survivors, ghosts and memories that are never spoken about, but always kept to oneself and that leave a lasting scar. 7/7 bears the memory of the tragedies of history: the Albanian vendetta, the genocidal Nazi policy in Auschwitz, the poisoned woods of Chernobyl, the pariahs of Nagasaki and the murdered women of Ciudad Juarez. Cruelty, will to power, and desire for vengeance. In successive tableaux, in a disillusioned silence, Guillaume Herbaut shows us the horrifying consequences on people and their environment. For this book is about humanity. Or more exactly, its loss.
