JOUR 1. 30 juillet 2018. Moscou. Je rejoins les quais nocturnes de la gare Jaroslaw, mon sac à dos bien accroché et mon enregistreur à la main. Direction la Mongolie. C’est l’heure, il est minuit, comme dans les contes. Il y a deux ans à Paris, j’ai rencontré un Böö, un chamane Mongol. Il m’a donné un conseil : « Écoute le son du vent. Va au contact de la nature et laisse-la te soigner. Il te faut retrouver la Terre Mère. » Aujourd'hui, je pars en quête de son et de sens. » C'est le début du carnet de voyage sonore de Vincent Guiot.

"La idea de salir a recorrer -y a contar- las grandes ciudades sudacas se me ocurrió cuando pensé que quería tratar de entender qué es hoy América Latina. Hace mucho que no lo intentamos y, en general, solemos conservar esa imagen rural, ecololó de una región que es, ahora mismo, la más urbana del mundo. Cuatro de cada cinco latinoamericanos viven en ciudades, pero no son ciudades como las que uno imagina cuando piensa en Barcelona o en París. Para saber cómo son -cómo es Latinoamérica- decidí volver a hacer eso que siempre me ha gustado hacer: ir, mirar, escuchar, pensar, contarlo." - Martín Caparrós

Laura Pariani è andata per la prima volta a 15 anni in Argentina e in Patagonia, in un viaggio folgorante alla ricerca di un nonno che si era trasferito là. Su questo palinsesto i ritorni si sono accumulati come fonte inesauribile di scoperte di sé e della vita. Nella sua Patagonia il paesaggio del Fin del Mundo è segnato dalle ferite immedicabili dello sterminio indio. C'è uno spaesante contrasto tra la "discrezione dei manufatti umani", spesso definiti "arrugginiti", e la "densa vitalità" della natura.

Mientras arremolinas tu Malbec argentino rojo violáceo en tu copa y disfrutás de su aroma profundo, sabor afrutado y textura suave en tu paladar, sería fácil pensar que todo siempre ha estado bien en el mundo.

Die Geschichte einer abenteuerlichen Reise kreuz und quer über den südamerikanischen Kontinent. In einem 4x4-Van, den wir unbesehen online gekauft und in Buenos Aires übernommen haben. Der Plan? Es gab keinen. Die Sümpfe im Norden Argentiniens, baden im Atlantik und Pazifik, die Atacama Wüste in Chile, die Pinguine auf der Peninsula Valdes und das Ende der Welt in Tierre del Fuego, Feuerland. Das alles haben wir gemacht und noch viel mehr erlebt. Zwar klappte nicht alles und manchmal auch das Auto zusammen, aber es wurde eine unvergessliche Reise mit Sehnsuchtspotenzial.
