L’homme sans image

In the video work L’homme sans image, the protagonist dances in the depths, wrapped in a sail. The body conforms to the contours of the sea; it seems to be part of it, moving—as in the womb—with the fluid grace of seaweed. A voice recounts fragments of memory—the house, the mother, the father—that surface in no particular chronological order. The work invites us to rethink our way of being in the world, in an attempt to halt the future that repeats itself inexorably. The entire human figure becomes a mask, and by dismembering itself, it frees itself from the flaws of the real body.
A sail is a tool for crossing through winds, for seeking a direction. It is also a path to go down, a question to the world, a compass.
