After studying photography, art and art criticism, Marcelline Delbecq gradually moved away from the image as such and now concentrates on writing; Ellie Ga practises a blend of narrative genres — memoir and travel diary — that pushes back the boundaries of documentation. Taking as their starting point Susan Sontag's On Photography of 1977, the two embarked on a long-term words-and-images dialogue addressing films, books and works that have marked their individual trajectories, together with historical events related, or not, to that year. A compelling consideration of the way pictures circulate, this "personal, shared museum" is offered to be read and looked at.
