About
"Summer 2021. 1:08 AM. The fluo green numbers on the dial above my grandmother's oven illuminate the kitchen behind us. Only me, my brother, my sister and my grandmother around the table, almost empty glasses. My grandmother, Marie-Paule, has always resisted sleep until the last second during family dinners, even at the age of 82. It's the first time I've heard him talk more about his father. Omnipresent, accuser, she compares him to the Eye of God, stricter than the sisters of the convent, she tells us. I feel, in the moment, a desire to memorize, to archive what she is about to say. Impulsively, I open my phone to record it." In God save you, Audrey dives into the Great Darkness with her grandmother to trace her years spent in the Catholic convent. Marie-Paule's voice, recorded in her living room, tells us about her experience through four paintings: Le dormitoire, Le refectoire, Le parlor and Les rébellions.
