A nod to Albrecht Dürer's engraving "Melencolia I" (1514), the poster is overflowing with references to black bile or atrabile, the primary cause of melancholy according to ancient humoral medicine. Besides the historical dimension, there's an administrative and financial aspect: the money and time lost to fill one's sadness and to heal it. And looming above the angel, a yawning hole opening onto Vallon Square, which "porte le Soleil noir de la Mélancolie."

From the photographs of Jules Clara's father's house, I observe the disorder and heavy atmosphere that weigh upon it - the weight of Literature crushing its furniture and obsessions. The written traces he left behind, a few words scattered here and there, find a new life through his daughter's narrative.
