HOW FAR - CREATION 2024
CREATION 2023-2024
Suzanne is driving an old Peugeot estate car on the A3 motorway in Seine-Saint-Denis. She stops to check the tyre pressure, the garage is deserted and closed for demolition. A man appears, guarding the place. Images emerge without warning. Suzanne leaves, drives away and returns. Amadi is not always a guard in the Parisian suburbs, he is a young Nigerian filmmaker who has come to explore the archives of Jacques Foccart, De Gaulle's advisor on African affairs, for his documentary on Biafra. As the days go by, they search, accompany each other and invent a little protocol for visiting each other's past. In this outlying building site, landscapes overlap, memories and temporalities flow along a puddle of diesel oil with strange powers that spread over the station.
