Ce livre d'artiste rassemble une série d'entretiens entre Mathilde ter Heijne et différents contributeurs aux identités culturelles, historiques et sociales éloignées (prêtres vaudous, shaman, biologiste, commerçantes, anthropologue, artistes, curateurs et critiques) réfléchissant aux potentialités transformatrices de l'art, au-delà de son propre spectre.
