Read the preface by Élène Tremblay
Suite à la parution de Mordre suivi de Parenthèse aux Éditions Planète rebelle en 2000, Agence Topo continue de suivre le travail de la vidéaste, poète et artiste des nouvelles technologies Yannick B. Gélinas. Ce titre se compose d’un recueil de poésie et d’une court-métrage. Avec l’amour du verbe et la sensualité en trame de fond, l’artiste nous fait partager sa passion de la vie tout en scandant un appel à la conscience par le geste d’une écriture vibrante. Une poésie exaltée qui raconte l’histoire d’une femme-utopie nommée Liberté.
Le DVD renferme également des poèmes audio interprétés par l’auteure, ainsi que des scènes et des entrevues supplémentaires tournées pour le projet.
