Le mardi 13 juillet 2010, Akan est descendue à la ville pour chercher les médicaments dont elle est accoutrée depuis quelques années. Fluoxetine, Atarax, Temazepan lui servent de boulet pour la tenir en vue, en probation. Akan les admet avec impuissance et crédulité, pour "aller mieux". Cependant le pharmacien ne trouve pas les drogues [...]
Il doit être 1 heure de l'après-midi, et une chaleur encombrante monte dans la rue où nos deux personnages entament un long débat. – Vous marchez trop vite! si vous voulez parler, ralentissez! Votre rythme délibérément accéléré me fatigue! S'écrie la jeune fille suivant le pas furtif de Akan déjà quelques mètres devant [...]
NB: Depuis le début de ce blog, j'aurais dû mentionner que le code est le suivant: Anorexic girl = anta-girl = disembodied person = embodied soul = bodily X metaphor = Figure A = Anorexic girl Amis lecteurs gardez les en mémoire, si vous en avez envie. Reprenons: Après le difficile entrevue entre [...]
La rue semblait vide et Akan, arrivait peu à peu aux frontières du Centre, annoncées par des enseignes de fast foods, des terrasses de cafés, des pavés neufs, des maisons encastrées les unes dans les autres. Si elle n'avait pas senti le regard écoeuré qui la poignardait dans le dos, et brûlait tout son corps, [...]

Speaking of Srebrenica massacre, is to say that I am ashamed of being French. (because I do not agree with those such as President Sarkozy who have advocated the fast accession of Serbia to the European Union for purely geopolitical reasons.) In 1995 I was drowned in a terrible family problem and I had [...]
C'est l'histoire d'une absence d'amour dont l'énergie sombre dépasse tous les coups de poings. Dans cet espace anti-matière de l'A-namour la victime trouve refuge. L’enfant mal traité, rêve son parent "aimant imaginaire", alors qu’il aime déjà, sans bornes, son parent réel déficient et nocif. "L'apaisement des souffrances". copyright Alice ODILON 2009. La présence [...]
There has been a shambles, a shipwreck in my family. I'm the little survivor, an unexpected seed which grew up badly. Some people say: "I'm a warrior, nothing will be left after me!" As an anorexic girl I would rather say: "After the shambles you made, would it be possible for me to develop, [...]
Is there anything from which to subtract my anorexic body? – There is an enigma in me, an X. The remainder after my fleshly body. Eliminating all of my carnal, substantive "person", drives me to me. So there is X resulting of the subtraction of my body's substance. It still stays a sort of [...]
Fairy Godmother, Marraine de la Princesse refusant d'épouser son Père, le Roi, conseille à celle-ci de revêtir la peau de l'Âne pour se déguiser et se cacher dans la forêt, abritée dans une ferme misérable. {La fée marraine de l'enfant, va dissiper tout malentendu en apprenant à la princesse à ne plus confondre les amours [...]

As a photographer and as an anorexic woman photographer, I've always used expressionists ways, and border-line ways to express myself with my photographs since 1977. I didn't choose the easy way, the aseptic way, the fashion way to tell the implacable illness I had [...]
copyright Alice ODILON: 1982 / self portrait. I've suffered from anorexia from the age of 7. Honestly without anorexia, I wouldn’t be here anymore, as this illness kept me alive instead of regressing to a quicker death. It was a sort of survival behaviour and not a lifestyle as it said [...]
Jane Doe 522 UFGA She might be my Mama. I would have preferred to get her as a Mum, as mine was the opposite of jane DOE: a predictable conventional person in a predictable well-ordered life with predictable behaviours and common thoughts, and with this addictive faith in mortal fear about different unpredictable people.

La boue, partout, çà colle aux godasses et Jane manque de s’enfoncer dans cette saloperie. La vie ralentit de [...]

Jane Doe still lives amongst us all. She won’t give up. I know she’s a recurrent white wave, she continues to die in hidden places in States, cities, roads, cornfields, rivers, lakes, black holes, sordid ditches, forgotten cabins in neglected woods and forests. She always haunts us. I think about her. She already crossed [...]
As I used to work a long time on forensic descriptions of cold cases, for my Artwork, I was thinking about to draw my interest to another REAL subject: "The Fox chewing off its paw to escape from a trap." Honestly, after knowing the brutal end of Jane DOE and John DOE, I was expecting [...]
If somebody had told me I would be abused, I would have laughed in his face. I grew up in a french wealthy family. Some troubles had disturbed my childhood, there was a black hole in the middle of my mind. "Les mains de Marie". Copyright Alice ODILON 2005. My memory failed about [...]
Only one’s own experience can find an echo in others. I was born with anorexia as an unwelcome gift, I had no choice but to live with it. I was likely to be "at risk", so, at 17, I ran away, I left home which was not a home for me, but a sort of [...]
"End up" 2008. Copyright Alice ODILON. As a french woman photographer, I’ve devoted my passion and my prose to photography.
