Vies possibles et imaginaires
Laureates of the Grand Prix Images Vevey 2011/2012, Yasmine Eid-Sabbagh (Lebanon/Germany, 1981) and Rozenn Quéré created Vies possibles et imaginaires, their interpretation of the family photography archive from the perspective of its narrative and poetic potential. Combined with a book co-published by Images Vevey, their account delved into the life of four Palestinian-Lebanese sisters living in exile in different parts of the world. Part documentary, part fiction, photography and text, the work does not tell the actual story of these women: It rewrites their biographies in the present, in a lively and theatrical manner, loosely transcribing audio interviews that relate both true and fantasized events.
