Hic rosa, partition botanique Anne Marie Faux, 2007

Hidden behind the name of the most famous of flowers there lies a homage. To what To the color red, to flushing women. To women enraged by justice like Rosa Luxembourg; to women engaged in the austere precision of an art of truth like Danièle Huillet. Because it is quite clear and the dates in the subtitles in the credits confirm it (1916, 1936, 2006) the voices of one or the other cross the botanical symphony that reveals the images in sequence. It is the latter s concern for precision that is heard in the diction of the letters written in 1916 by the former. While Rosa Luxembourg is known for having been the heroic organizer Spartacist, who was assassinated by the police in 1919, it is another timbre than that of combative militant that resonates here.
