Sonnette
France
2016jury
Sonnette was a city in Montana which disappeared in the late twentieth century for mysterious reasons. Some vestiges remain, of gloomy appearance, contrasting with the vivid memory of a dance-hall which once welcomed young people from the region in the 1960s. The series is an imagined walk through the city, in the light of what remains of this city, archives and testimonies. Mélissa Boucher and Marine de la Loge reinterpreted their wander around Sonnette. Their work develops the part of fiction that emanates from reality.
