DIANA ALICE LÉA

With a look that is both complicit and distanced, this film tells the story of the sinuous paths of their concomitant creations where the individual and the collective are permanently intertwined in a game of open questions. They told real and fictional stories, in an original and coherent vision. They were part of their photographs. They told and are told. They asked the question: “Is there such a thing as women’s photography?” In an attempt to answer this question, they questioned contemporary female identity, her relationship to the body, her place in the city and beyond in our society. From the large format camera to the most sophisticated digital tools, from documentary portraits to introspective road movies and staging in public spaces, Diana, Alice and L a combine real forms and plastic surfaces in a unique trilogy. They devoted themselves to their respective artistic creations on a daily basis, but exchange, dialogue and share savoir-faire, learning and experiences together. They appropriated the surrounding territory: a single city, three views and as many photographic journeys. The viewer is also lulled by the sublime musical sounds of Augustin Charnet flying over emblematic Toulouse locations such as the Jolimont Observatory or the Jacobins cloister.
