Synopsis
Beckett is the result of a little-known encounter that took place over 30 years ago in Tangiers, between the then-burgeoning photographer François-Marie Banier and the great Irish-born writer Samuel Beckett. Banier kept spotting Beckett's iconically gaunt and tapering frame-"a marsh-bird vanished in the middle of the crowd of Moroccans in djellabahs and indifferent tourists"-and was so entranced by his curious movements and features that he determined to photograph him. Of course when they finally met Banier forgot all about his camera, preferring instead to listen to Beckett's tales of "the 27 books he couldn't find a publisher for, of his wife Suzanne, of his friendship with Joyce, of his family in Ireland." Eventually recovering his photographer's eye, Banier stepped back behind the camera to take this fantastic sequence of photographs, published here for the first time, and unmatched as a portrait of the great writer.

Plages et rues de Tanger étaient hantées par un automate plus d'os que de chair que je perdais, hélas, souvent entre les rais de soleil. Sa silhouette d'échassier s'évanouissait parmi la foule des marocains en djellabas et de touristes nonchalants. Comme moi, ils ignoraient que cet homme fin était le grand écrivain Samuel Beckett. A force de se croiser, nous nous sommes rencontrés. je laissais alors de côté la photographie. (.) Il me fallait fixer cette allure et ce visage rare, prendre de la distance, abandonner ces trésors qu'étaient ses mots, ses points de vue, et rejoindre la place du photographe, derrière l'objectif. " François-Marie Banier " Voici le corps d'une voix, celle de Samuel Beckett, le visage de cette voix. Le mouvement d'un homme qui sait l'inempirable vide. Voici, captée par son ami François-Marie Banier, la présence inédite, jusqu'ici dérobée, de ses trajets quotidiens parmi ce qu'il a su décréer, de son parcours de ce qui n'a pas eu lieu mais ne cesse de périr - où il pose son pas. " Viviane Forrester Quarante-six photographies prises par François-Marie BANIER : - à Tanger en 1978, l'écrivain en short, chemisette ou polo, parfois en compagnie de son épouse, Suzanne Dechevaux-Dumesnil.
