Marie Alberto Jeanjacques

Freely adapted from a Virginia Woolf text, Marie Alberto Jeanjacques takes a leaf out of her book to declare, “there is a great uprising of the material.” Moreover, such great agitation, described almost relentlessly and even audibly in the sound work like a busy, incessant rumour (from the voice of a female surgeon operating, equally to that of Londsdale), of a well-kept secret.

A filmed correspondence with Annie Le Brun, contemporary poet and essayist. This film weaves, on the landscapes which constituted me, places of the limit, the edge, the end, the routes connecting me to her and to her literary imaginaries: the amorous revolt, the usefulness of the desertion of the roles which are attributed and lyricism as the last defense against death.
