You Can't Do Everything At Once, But You Can Leave Everything At Once

by Marie-Elsa Sgualdo

Without knowing it, we attach significance to phantom stories that circulate around us. In such a way, in 2011 Marie-Elsa Sgualdo discovered the work of Spanish director José-Luis Guerin, creating in her the desire to contact him. “I thought about sending him a letter in the form of auto-fiction to try to express what had moved me in his films. (…) I undertook to breathe life into what I would call rumours, without obliging myself to always tell the truth.” (Marie-Elsa Sgualdo)
