The Night Won’t Seem to End (2021-ongoing)
Video installation
Duration 5’50 min & 6’44 min, color 9/16 HD

    This series of silent video portraits deals with storytelling, oral memory, and intimacy. It repeats the same filming protocol: a person recorded themselves recollecting a personal story, then I filmed a second person, in one take, listening to for the first time this memory I was entrusted with; after what I asked the second person I had just filmed to tell in their turn something about them that would be recorded and so on.

    The Night Won’t Seem to End acts as a sort of fire camp — where one finds a confidant whether in an old friend or a stranger during a long night of deep conversations — with remote participants, enabling new paths towards intimacy. Doing so, I wish to create a subjective and ever-incomplete yet growing “encyclopedia” not of knowledge but of feelings.
