- What do stones tell us when we look at them? I look, I see, I listen; Rue de Navarin, at the corner of Rue du Rocher and Rue de Rome, Rue Marie-Rose; from one side to the other, the echoes of my familiar ghosts and others. Like the pebbles of Tom Thumb, I follow the road of square stones; on the facades of the Paris buildings, the commemorative plaques attract me, pull me towards the country, the town of former times, they speak to me of succeeding ages. There are 2,000 plaques in Paris. First of all plaques were put up for great men, great politicians, great writers, great poets, great musicians, great soldiers: the Republic was making for itself a genealogy that was worthy of it. Here lived, here died, here lived, here died. Then it was great heroes, little heroes and anonymous heroes of wartime: they did not live, above all they died. I set off in search of these stories, in a ghostly Paris where, from plaque to plaque, the fragile, barely visible traces of forgotten lives unfold.

Scraps from the past and elements of the present come together to evoke the coherence and multiple meanings of Irina's baroque universe : the solitude of her Romanian childhood ; her youthful debut in the music hall ; her relationships with her models and her way of building images. Little by little, her work is illuminated and takes on different vibrations, though we have never left the apartment : her workspace, temple and museum.

- Months after the "Prestige shipwreck", a team of 30 volunteers left Toulouse to clean up the coast of Camariñas in Galicia. All day long, the camera followed their painstakingly patient and seemingly derisory gestures, picking up on the varying intensity of each day, revealing how a growing fraternity among them came to constitute a form of resistance against such a disaster. Our civilization devastates the planet on a big scale that some attempt to repair the damages with a spatula. I seek to share the striking contrast by exploring the issues of a space reduced to a beach of black stones.
