Synopsis: Eclipse is the autobiographical work by a young artist living in New York. It describes, from the evening he was attacked and lost his sight, the two years it took to him to go back to Life and swim freely in the sea of Java. 'I had to give birth to myself.' The beautiful, unpredictable and eccentric ballerina, Valouchka, leads him into the reconquest of the dance with life. Hospital, Rehabilitation Centre, joy, despair, love. and one morning, he closes the door behind and flies alone to Indonesia. 'Fear is the true Blindness'. You experiment in those pages a deep meditation on life, love, perception, visual world and inner vision. Poignant, poetic and sometimes hilarious, this book is a Song to Life, which questions all of us.
