I am no one. ]" Chapter III: "Written language tends to fragment, causing a disidentification. I am no one. My oppressive search for the word is more a spiritual exercise than an intellectual one. The sacrifice of writing aligns with the loss of identity.

Thus, all voices are alter egos. Writer alter ego. Poet alter ego. Dog alter ego. " The codes on which consciousness rests collapse. The meaning of speech collapses.

Having explored, in the first two instalments of her trilogy, the hidden share of violence inherent in art history, Carolina Bianchi closes her cycle by exploring the mystery of writing, which she links to the enigma of her own sexuality.

Through a teeming assemblage of drafts, notebooks and notes, she summons the ghosts of other women writers — Hilda Hilst, Emily Dickinson — blending her voice with their words.

Multiplying alter egos, she opens up a space conducive to fantasy, and in particular the fantasy produced by the act of writing.

The author and director appears here as a subject in dissolution, sliding from one figure to another to question what, within literature, is bound up with desire.

In this concluding chapter, Carolina Bianchi retraces the course of the trilogy back to its point of origin: the decisive moment when writing, sexuality and violence become one.
