Le Récit d’A is several stories that evolve in the same video, parallel universes that echo each other without ever crossing paths. Andrew’s story, the travel diary, the thought of Edmond Jabès are all elements of the game… I use autobiographical traces (the “scanner”, the Super 8) to talk about a more vast; the existential trace of the Jabès desert and the desert of the 90s; our youth devastated by AIDS, my life deserted of its youth. The video also speaks of the gaze, of this consciousness which changes and of what can open up, even in the face of such an apparently fatal outcome. – Esther Valiquette
