Cruising Through the Louvre

An artist's unique take on the museum experience: peoplewatching Author and artist David Prudhomme meanders through the Louvre, feeling as if in the panels of a giant comic while he himself is creating his own is this graphic novel.

In this institution, all manner of people from all over the world rub elbows quietly.

So Prudhomme decides to cruise through the museum, not to look at the world famous art, but to observe the people and their interaction with it.

As he wanders, he discovers a group of students somehow stuck together just as in the shipwreck on the Raft of the Medusa; a man standing behind the Seated Scribe, as if attempting to read over his shoulder; and in the hall of antiquities, a woman placing her head in a lion's mouth.

This work presents readers a strange, silent, and casual choreography, danced in the midst of one of the most prestigious museums in the world.
