Book description:
"Marina Gadonneix’s work weaves a complex link between documentary and fiction through photographs of places given over to temporary neglect.
'The House That Burns Everyday' recalls a fable whose story, in ashes, would no longer reach us.
Marina Gadonneix has chosen to haunt a dummy house used by firemen to become familiar with fire and fighting it. In short, a room of fiction. Fire has raged, soon it will flare up again.
In this interstice, Gadonneix collects these artificial ruins. From a distance, the spectator can cope with the worst. The worst, in this work, is always yet to come."
