She is an invisible woman, a great reporter who makes herself very small when she hides, more than when she plants herself, in the backstage of a fashion show, in the limbo of ghostly Africa, in the bunkers of Siberia, in the closets of the last communal apartments of Saint Petersburg or in the backrooms of Korean society.
