In this intriguing memoir, the authors weave a narrative that draws inspiration from Édouard Levé’s thought-provoking work, Autoportrait. Through a unique lens, they explore themes of identity, perception, and the complexities of self-representation, engaging readers in a dialogue about the nature of existence and how we see ourselves and others.

The memoir serves as an “embellished translation,” where the essence of Levé's original thoughts is transformed and enriched. By interspersing personal reflections with artistic musings, the work invites a deeper contemplation of the self, challenging the reader’s understanding of what it truly means to capture oneself. It’s a harmonious blend of art and autobiography, encouraging a fresh perspective on the human experience.
