"We embarked – Pierre, Gatti, Vierny and me – at the end of August 1957 on an adventure …" – Chris Marker

Two independent works emerged from this trip – Chris Marker's Letter from Siberia (1957) and Armand Gatti's Sibérie – zero + l'infini (1958), which was one of the first Western reports on Siberia since 1917.
Armand Gatti, one of the most acclaimed theater playwrights of the 20th century, had already written eight plays and had received the Albert Londres Prize for his earlier work before pursuing a career as a journalist. Gatti came back from Siberia with eleven articles about the region, which were published in Libération, the underground newspaper of the Résistance movement.
The following year Armand Gatti continued to work on these articles, which then became the book Sibérie – zero + l'infini, accompanied by Chris Marker's… Read More
