After studying photography, art and art criticism, Marcelline Delbecq gradually moved away from the image as such and now concentrates on writing. Ellie Ga practises a blend of narrative genres – memoirs and travel diaries – that pushes back the boundaries of photographic documentation. Taking as their starting point Susan Sontag’s 1977 book On Photography, Delbecq and Ga embarked on a long-term words-and-images dialogue addressing films, books and artworks that have marked their individual trajectories, together with historical events related (or not) to the year 1977.
