Grand Circle Diego
"Bay of Diego Suarez. strip of land in the far north of Madagascar.
a terrible accident
10 years later, Cyril Costilhes comes back to close the circle,
the descent into his heart of darkness begins.
There is danger lying there, Diego
it’s like smoking on a sea of gasoline
Don’t fall in love,
don’t you fucking fall in love here."
A dark and disturbing presence is lurking beneath the obscene jungle and the outskirts of Diego and its enigmatic dwellers. Cyril Costilhes went looking for it, through the mirror of a Diego Suarez of the mind. A lynchian photographic tale of fallen utopias and broken relationships.
“I have this crazy idea of transforming this suffocating situation into something positive that would give sense to all this.
Turn the ugly into beautiful”
French eyes, Italian style, Dutch lithography, German printing. GCD is an European collaboration.

"Don't fall in love, don't you fucking fall in love here."
A waking nightmare of a photobook. Harsh flash used to illuminate the unsettling, horror-show underbelly of life in Diego Suarez. Probably the most disturbing photography this side of D'Agata -- no surprise then that Costilhes workshopped under him.
Give me the money to buy a print from this book. I'll buy them all.
