A pioneer of the Nouvelle Vague, an indefatigable experimenter and manipulator of audiovisual materials, and more recently a brilliant creator of exhibitions and installations, Varda succeeded in interpreting the changes of a rapidly transforming world, al¬ways open to encounters with others and to social, aesthetic, and technological innovations. Sustained by an insatiable, encyclopedic passion for images, and by the spirit of a gatherer-glaneuse who knows how to transform the archive into a living entity, an inexhaustible generator of new stories and inventions, her work astonishes with its thematic and formal richness, while retaining an unmistakable "Varda style". The essays collected in this book, while seeking to place Varda's work within its contemporary context, also aim to trace her potential legacy. They bring together scholars who have explored the ways in which Varda engaged with other media and artistic forms, constantly in a state of hybridization.
