LIBERTY/IES
“Being deprived of liberty sharpens your taste for liberty.”
Gaston Monnerville.
I was born free in a free country. My father and grandfathers fought for that freedom. Everywhere in the world, others are struggling to break their chains: women, slaves, prisoners. We fought for the freedom of the press, of expression, the freedom to move, to live our sexuality openly. Peoples and nations have been built on the concept of liberty. It is beautiful and precious but sometimes fragile.
These excerpts discovered in INA’s audio archives represent a particular idea of liberty – mine! I have tried to create mental images to evoke women’s liberation, the freedom of the airwaves, of children, of hostages; the abolition of slavery and freedom of thought. Freedom is on the other side of a cell’s bars; on the road or the ocean; in the mind or in our behaviour; to be taken and defended.
Escape, take to your heels, wander off with me, just the time to taste, and take, a few liberties.
Carole Pither
With the collaboration of Isabelle Fort Rendu, Ina archivist, and Frédéric Fiard, sound editor and mixer.
