‘To Dance with the Devil’ is a corpus developed around the character of Catherine, the photographer’s mother, who led a life of marginality until her death of AIDS in 1999. Being a drug addict, her relationship with her first son, Sébastien, was tumultuous. She introduced him to drugs; he became violent. She then fell in love with her own father. Mickaël is the son of this forbidden union. Through different temporal and narrative schemes, linking archive images, documents, texts, and contemporary photos, the book documents the principle of marginality and drift through the complexity of family, morality, and ethics, questioning the place of normality in the abnormal.
