Blending narrative and fiction, painting and comics, dreamlike and sociological... Au bois brings together the many talents of Charline Collette, making it a unique album.
The forest, a playground for experimentation, is an inexhaustible source of imagination. Charline Collette tells the story of this forest. The one of her childhood, and the one of all those humans who maintain a close link with this space. Inspired by stories collected from children and adults, Charline Collette evokes the universal link between humanity and the forest.
In the woods, 12 stories are told through the seasons, mixing comics and beautiful illustrations. From the child who sincerely recounts her encounter with the tiny "cuckoo house" to the elderly woman who remembers the taste of the melted cheese she used to bring and share with her father, these stories from all eras are powerfully moving. This emotion reveals our ancestral and visceral attachment to the forest.
