Nothing but Home, the first in a series, takes the unity of a place as its starting point : the photographer’s house, his first house.
From this inaugural sign, a first book emerges. Based on minute details detected under the rubble and within the mutating building site, Sébastien Girard builds a singular language,
rescuing everyday life, where a single tool or entangled ordinary materials organize themselves into an intimate account of events.
