People live there, and have always lived there, in contact with this ore. He found a place still alive, where the mining industry that gave the region its existence has ceased without taking with it the material present in the soil, in the tailings bordering the houses, and in daily habits. What it left behind is still there, yet no longer an event.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlack Lakes is less a book about asbestos than about a land in limbo, where danger has become ordinary through the act of living with it. An indistinct state, which is neither post-industrial tragedy nor territorial rebirth. The book thus questions what happens to fear when faced with the familiar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is accompanied by a text from Alice Loumeau and Valentin Bansac (the collective MATTERS.xyz), architects and researchers, who investigate the mythological imagery of this fiber once celebrated for its near-magical properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEditorial direction: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/editionsrevolues.fr\/\"\u003eÉditions Révolues\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003ePhotographs: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/simonnicoloso\/\"\u003eSimon Nicoloso\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eArt direction and graphic design: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/florianbrennemann\/\"\u003eFlorian Brennemann\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eText: Alice Loumeau and Valentin Bansac, Simon Nicoloso.\u003cbr\u003eHardcover, cloth spine.\u003cbr\u003eFormat 245×295mm.\u003cbr\u003e128 pages.\u003cbr\u003e70 color photographs.\u003cbr\u003eInterior on Gard Matt ICE 150g paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: 978-2-9589-5883-1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished in October 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRE-ORDER FROM 09\/14\/2026 TO 10\/13\/2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll orders placed between 09\/14\/2026 and 10\/13\/2026 will be shipped on 10\/14\/2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"éditions révolues","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60002097070464,"sku":null,"price":43.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/5068\/9920\/files\/MOCKUP-COVER_BL.png?v=1790716298","url":"https:\/\/editionsrevolues.fr\/en\/products\/black-lakes","provider":"éditions révolues","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
