«I like the train, we have time to observe». The phrase is simple, almost trivial. It is not the passionate declaration of a devouring love, but the thoughtful murmur of someone who lets himself be gently lulled, with his eyes gliding over the landscape, by the regular swing of a wagon. Drawn in the first person, these hypnotic snapshots follow one another over the hours, the changes in light or the passage of a controller. From the train, an experience of a suspended place, at the same time present and already past, collective and solitary, Yann Kebbi retains only fragments: peeking at his neighbour in a reflection, gluing his forehead to the glass and observing the small gardens that pass by... Alert, curious or contemplative, the traveler is defined, during a trip, only by what he sees. "J'aime bien le train, on a le temps de regarder" by Yann Kebbi, published by Centre National du Livre, 2025.
