Editions Filigranes, 2020

Filigranes Editions is pleased to announce the first publication of Marilia Destot, La promesse (the promise), a boxset of 3 photobooks altogether, each book being a chapter of her life, each in dialogue with an author very important to her. Dominique A, Sabine Huynh and Keren Ann are the three authors of the photobooks.

“La promesse, like a photographic poem, reveals through the years & seasons fragments of my love & family diary. Faces, places, details echo on each other and draw between the lines the film of our memories. Expectations and absences, cycles and splits, joy and cracks – from the desire of child to maternity and motherhood, and then childhood revisited, la promesse celebrates the little vertigos, the secret fears and quiet miracles of an ordinary life, tracing a contemplative memory of time passing by.” - Marilia Destot, 2019
