Artist and visual artist Valérie Mréjen takes postcards of the Bages lagoon in Languedoc and continues her work on popular images. Seriality, non sequiturs, embryonic fiction, misappropriation, misinterpretation, sidestepping—she uses everything to break down the barrier between text and image.
As for Emmanuelle Pireyre, she has worked on the back of the cards and offers us a series of short texts in which her sense of humor and the unexpected hit the mark.
The book brings together for the first time these two mavericks of contemporary literature and art in France.
