Synopsis

The Cahiers Series continues its exploration of translation in all its aspects with this moving text dealing with days in the life of a general practitioner working in an area of Paris where most of her patients will be immigrants with a flimsy grasp of the French language. Anna-Louise Milne charts the silent cues and halting accounts that constitute the everyday choreography of care in a world where the rules are anyone's guess and everyone's business. The text is rhythmed by paintings by artist Andy Robert in which figures emerge vividly from his experimental and abstract use of colour and line, inscrutable and requiring. Inspired by his surroundings and community in Brooklyn, his travels, as well as his family's involvement in health-care and mass transit, Robert's work shares Milne's interest in our cities' hidden places that harbour the labour that sustains the bodies of those who are often deemed expendable, even unspeakable.
