At the time he did not yet know that he would continue to document the events at the cathedral over the months that followed.  Zachmann was granted privileged access to the worksite early on, and from the very first weeks after the disaster, he takes us along on one of the most exciting construction sites in the world.

He also provides us with a deep dive into history and invites us on a captivating and moving visit to a building that has been torn apart and for which scientists and craftspeople alike are caring, and motivated to breathe new life into it.

Throughout these pages, his photographs document an extraordinary human adventure and his diary entries shed an intimate light on the experience. This beautiful book is a genuine ode to a monument rich in symbolism and secrets.
