in Les plages dâAgnès, Varda connects her artistic practice and the ambiguity of self-fashioning with subject formation by showing a dialogue with Jane from Jane B. par Agnès V. The women sit side by side in a two shot and Jane asks:
âDo you think youâll manage? Weâre shooting in bits and piecesâÂ
Varda replies:
âItâs like doing a puzzle. You place the pieces here and there until it comes together, but thereâs a hole in the center. It happens at dinner parties, suddenly it goes quiet and someone says: âSing us a song!âÂ

â/âŚ/ But for the documentaries now, they want it to be more and more defined, and I absolutely cannot define things. So I circle around it. I write around the film, around the hole, letâs say, or around the void. Because I want to go make a documentary without knowing what Iâm doing. They always demand, âTell us what youâre going to do.â And all I can tell you is that I just donât know. Itâs precisely because of this lack of knowledge that there can be a film.â
