Filigranes Editions is pleased to announce the first publication of Marilia Destot, La promesse (the promise), a boxset of 3 photobooks altogether, each book being a chapter of her life, each in dialogue with an author very important to her. Dominique A, Sabine Huynh and Keren Ann are the three authors of the photobooks.
“La promesse, like a photographic poem, reveals through the years & seasons fragments of my love & family diary. Faces, places, details echo on each other and draw between the lines the film of our memories. Expectations and absences, cycles and splits, joy and cracks – from the desire of child to maternity and motherhood, and then childhood revisited, la promesse celebrates the little vertigos, the secret fears and quiet miracles of an ordinary life, tracing a contemplative memory of time passing by.”
Marilia Destot, 2019
[…] Cicatriser le réel d’aube en aube
sentir que tout vibre au-dehors
et en dedans que les vibrations se répondent
qu’à l’immobile le mouvant ne s’oppose pas mais que tout tend à l’équilibre […]
Dominique A
[…] que croire en ce silence qui s’oublie
ce qui porte la main du corps hors-champ
le délicat galop des doigts vers le distant dédale
ce lieu du désir, l’appel de la vie nouvelle où le corps […]
Sabine Huynh
A breath of spring
Tapped on my lips
My hand was held
My heart was hit […]
