Summary :
Pieces of Chile, fragments of a journey, for a memory that is searched amidst bedrooms, desert lounges and mirrors too large, in the forgotten houses of a dead harbour. It might have been possible over there to never meet her, to never come across her in some alley or hovel.

Shot with the lightest tools by artists sent or invited by France in Latin America, in the Baltic states or in Paris during the video-art festivals organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, those travel diaries were totally free as to form and content in order to leave full play to the feeling of strangeness and the uncertainties of encounters. They benefit from a sophisticated post-production. The result is a strange rhapsody of glances stretching over more than ten years. The collection "Journaux de Voyages" was conceived of and directed by Pascal-Emmanuel GALLET. It is divided into : French diaries in Latin America, Latin American diaries in France, French diaries in Latvia and Balt diaries in France.
