(FR)
Entre journal de création, carnets de tournée et réflexions intimes, l’autrice (aussi musicienne et cinéaste) revient sur deux décennies de vie d’artiste underground.
On la suit du bush australien à la scène noise indonésienne, des soirées underground parisiennes aux aires d’autoroutes loin de la capitale en passant par des séances de drague improvisées au Brésil. Sur les traces de Viv Albertine et Patti Smith, Marie Delta raconte la construction de ses “châteaux de cartes”, aventures éphémères d’amitié et de création. Fragiles et pourtant vitales.
(ENG)
Through a blend of creative journals, tour diaries, and personal reflections, the author (who is also a musician and filmmaker) looks back on two decades of life as an underground artist.
We follow her from the Australian bush to the Indonesian noise scene, from Parisian underground parties to highway rest stops far from the capital, with stops along the way for impromptu flirting sessions in Brazil. Following in the footsteps of Viv Albertine and Patti Smith, Marie Delta recounts the building of her “houses of cards”—fleeting adventures of friendship and creativity, fragile yet vital.
