In the vast desert, heavy machinery breaks rocks, excavates the ground, builds mountains, directs water, transforms materials, chops, kneads, compresses, crushes, and covers... Behind these mechanical devices There are people who are half participants and half observers, who are sometimes amazed at witnessing this magnificent work, and sometimes even seem to be helping it.
What are these tasks? Who is instructing and directing? For what purpose? And where is this? Who are these masked and strangely dressed people?
Whatever their nature or status, when they stand before a newly shaped landscape, at the center of a gigantic artifact, when they raise their arms together and suddenly let out a cry of pure enthusiasm, their ambitions are revealed. It seems to reach a peak: “Waaaaaaa…"

With "Civil Engineering", a collection of eight stories, in 2004, Yuichi Yokoyama laid the foundation for the world he would continue to paint ever since. Since then, he has portrayed that world through a number of his works, including Voyage, Jardin, Explorations, La Terre de glace, and most recently, Plaza. All of these are published by Edicion Matières. This new book celebrates the 20th anniversary of "Civil Engineering" with three previously unpublished stories and additional photos of landscapes and construction sites taken by Yokoyama.
