Conversation
Christine Crozat and Pierre Thomé
L’eau brûle, 2016
In partnership with Les Rencontres à Lire de Dax, La Petite Escalère welcomes author Pierre Thomé and visual artist (and former LPE resident) Christine Crozat to present two of their most recent collaborations: Saison, a group of 8 videos/narrations and introduce L’eau brûle, a book published in November 2016 by Chemin de Fer publishers.
In these echoing book and videos, a couple meets after work around diner preparation. The delicate portrayal of those moments–their words, laughters, aggravation–, the sensuality of the food and its flavors show the construction of love in everyday life.
“Moi ? Jeter des homards dans l’eau bouillante ? C’était au-dessus de mes forces. J’ai décidé d’être toi pour le faire. C’était une façon de m’en sortir et de me venger. Une usurpation d’identité temporaire et gastronomique. C’est toi qui ferais le sale boulot. Pour être toi, je porterais tes attributs. Ceux que tu arborais à ton entrée en scène ce soir même. Tes gants et ta ridicule chapka de fourrure synthétique constitueraient le déguisement.”
