Love Cruising

Overview

A docu-fiction about my trip to the American West Coast (August 2025), where I went in search of car rims that I enjoyed photographing. The sound, which I created myself, is a reading of letters I wrote to Alain.e, who stayed behind in Brittany, describing the cars I encountered, accompanied by Olga, the BMW I was driving. It's an affectionate reference to Chantal Akerman's *News From Home*. The short film opens with a series of archival images of a Virginia Woolf house that I photographed (2015). Like Alain.e, my van is my nomadic haven; it's an ironic wink. The twist lies in the VW painted by Virginia Woolf on one of her chairs, the meaning of which I subvert. I love humor, however, I have no irony whatsoever about my taste for car tuning, and queer tuning.
