LUÍSA HOMEM

Around Suzanne Daveau

16 NOVEMBER // AUDITORIUM EP.1 // 17:30 

“There is no science, or progress in knowledge, without love, without passion, without identification, even when it is a subject apparently devoid of life, such as the evolution of a slope or the genesis of a downpour. One can, perhaps, routinely apply a technique with pure objectivity, one cannot with certainty, discover something new without the researcher becoming completely implicated in the subject he is trying to elucidate.”

SUZANNE DAVEAU sketches a portrait of an adventurous woman who traverses the 20th century right up to the modern day guided by her passion for geographical research.. The film wanders between the numerous world spaces covered by the geographer and the secretive home spaces where she spent her private life.
