from Guy Debord

To Brigitte Cornand
7 April 1992
Dear Brigitte Cornand:


I am happy to hear that someone[1] gave you my old address (I add the current one[2]). Thus, I already have a copy of your documentary.[3] Its great merit is to avoid, along with the boredom of "interviews," their lying explanations. You directly evoke a long era of disorder by writing in its disordered style: there is much talent in your use of detournement.

Quite attentively,
Guy Debord

[1] Paul Destribats.

[2] In Auverge.

[3] Cette situation doit changer. [Translator: this was a 20-minute-long TV anti-documentary about the Lettrists and their films.]
