Bill accepted to embark on an intellectual and aesthetic journey to Bonendale. At stake, an extensive exchange with local colleagues that she met on a previous stay during the "Ateliers Urbains de Doual'art" ( workshop held in november 2001, with Billi Bidjoka and Goddy Leye and some twenty participants from the Central African Region). She did not come to continue with the usual debates on the difficulties faced by contemporary artists on the continent. She hates commonplaces just like ArtBakery does. She was looking for answers in all forms to her questions concerning the new media and their relation to her current visual inquiry.
That is why she went with a kind of compulsion, through all the available audio-visual documentation on the issue and walked her camera, with an unsteady hand but a firm determination, on the streets of Bonendale, looking for IMAGE.
Long discusions on the syntax of the moving image were part of the daily programme coupled with practice of video editing on the computers of Bakery. A training in the studios of Videopro completed the stay.
She has since then done excellent video pieces and installations works that were shown in various places like Lieu Unique, Nantes, France and Dakar't 06, Dakar, Senegal.
She is part of Documenta 12 held in Cassel in 2007.

Bill a accepté de prendre son bâton de pèlerin pour atterrir dans la fournaise de Bonendale. En ligne de mire, un échange intensif avec les collègues du Cameroun, qu'elle connaît déjà, pour avoir pris part aux "Ateliers Urbains de Doual'art". Il ne s'agit pas, loin s'en faut, d'un échange passif sur les difficultés inhérentes à la pratique de l'art contemporain sur un continent en manque de postures fortes et fraîches mais avare en soutien financier. Elle aime se passer des lieux communs. ArtBakery aussi. Mais elle est avide de réponses pratiques aux questions qu'elle se pose à propos des N.T.I.C.
Aussi va-t-elle dévorer avec une passion compulsive toute la documentation audio-visuelle disponible sur la question et promener d'une main hésitante mais d'une foi inébranlable, la caméra dans les ruelles du village, à la recherche de l'IMAGE.
IMAGE!
D'interminables discussions sur la question et sur la syntaxe du cinéma et de la vidéo ont animé les soirées de son séjour, et prolongé le travail pratique sur les bancs de montage de la Bakery. Cette in-formation sera complétée par un stage à Videopro, une unité professionnelle de production vidéo basée à Douala.
