« Since October 20th 1993, I have had people read À la Recherche du Temps perdu in front of my camera. It’s an action and a situation specific to my life. (…) The people I capture on camera are from just about everywhere, from all generations. Anywhere and at all seasons. Readers follow the order. They are chosen as I go around meeting people, travelling, and following recommendations. Then there’s my loved ones. This film is also an autobiography. » Véronique Aubouy
