My practice weaves film, poetry, installation, and instructions to address the other and accomplish mysterious existential quests. Those film-rituals present characters who have left the world to carry out rebellious gestures of intimacy which are theirs only, and invent new ways to love and exist, outside societal norms and what is considered beautiful or acceptable. Themes of mourning, wandering, and sisterhood are at the core of my work.
Rather than an anthropological reading, I consider rituals — and filmmaking — as a relational tool to connect with others and collectively create new rituals as radical forms of intimacy from the margins. I film rituals, and film itself functions as a ritual. The shooting of a film acts as a frame to facilitate unsayable interactions between individuals. The process becomes as crucial as its trace, as it constitutes the raw matter of the film. In the making and dissemination of films, such interactions are gathered into a network of experiences, in praise of an anarchic image made of a multiplicity of uncanny gestures that oppose logics of usefulness and norms. I want to place the inner experience at the core of the image, to transcend human (and non-human) interactions toward new magickal relationships beyond the limitations of capitalist ventures, in the production of radical moving image works.
