Description
In a state of amazed observation, a woman tries to reunite the many parts of herself that are strewn across space… and time. But what is to be done with the ants and their tiny world, running everywhere and stirring all day long? What to do with the grass that keeps growing beneath her feet? And what about neglected scraps of days, tidal waves, barrels of fear, and imaginary memories?… How can one silence the noise of wars? “When one of my hands goes missing, I do not notice. […] It is a rare day when my whole body is with me. Most of the time, my pieces are widely scattered. A hand that writes, absent knees, an invisible back.”
