A screening of Redistribution (2007-2026), organised on the occasion of the release of Dédié à la vie, Singing Books, 2025.

Dédié à la vie, originally conceived as a young adult novel, gradually evolved during the writing process into a hybrid collection. It immerses the reader in the author’s most intimate reflections as he confronts a world in flux. Bringing together texts written between 2001 and 2019, the work provides insight into the thoughts that drove him during this period, often resonating directly with the works he had already—or was about to—produce.

Journals, poems, and internal dialogues merge in a psychedelic waltz, while lucidly addressing the violence inherent in certain cultural mechanisms, which are often submerged in « the ordinary. » Despite its sarcastic humor, Dédié à la vie does not speak with a cynical voice; on the contrary, it offers a tribute to resilience and an acceptance of the world in its most elusive aspects.

Translated from English to French by Paolo Viscogliosi and Joseph Kraft.
Published by Singing Books, 2025.
