“The cohabitation of different temporalities rests on an unstable balance: between a time that unfolds following a trajectory and a multiplicity of other times that interfere, overlap, and juxtapose: the present of reflection, of rereading, the moment retained in a testimony or in a trace, the times of other people’s voices, the digressions. In search of a present to seize, to capture, to reactivate, I wrote in vertigo, relying on the incessant flow of time, living it with intensity, like a dancer who embraces the instability of the moment to risk new imbalances. This present has become a living matter, an infinite reserve of impulses.” Marian del Valle.
