The title is rather enigmatic and out of step with the photographs: once upon a time, fragments of a story of wicked sisters, on the road before the very last day. Myriam and Olivia met in 1999 at the photography school in Vevey, Switzerland, and this book was born of their friendship. In 2010 they conceived a travel project: to cross the United States from Chicago to San Francisco, with the constraint that Myriam would take one photograph of Olivia every day. After 7,201 km and 120 hours in the car, having passed through Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Colorado City (Texas), Albuquerque, Santa Fe and more, they had made over 700 photographs. The book speaks of the freedom that travel offers, of the complicity between two people who throw themselves into adventure and landscape. For the time of an image, Olivia's figure, like a fictional character, inscribes itself in this American mythology.
