Seule




 

Seule / Alone


Experimental,  (7’)
Bruxelles, Le Pacifique, 2010. 

Alone in an empty house, a young women questions female loneliness by duplicating herself to play various undefined characters, caught between creative freedom and limited expectations of traditional gendered adulthood in a master-servant model. 

The objects used in the video were present in the house at the time of filming (cards, guitar, children's games). The house filmed is that of a shared flat for young graphic designers from the Le Pacifique collective (now a label and radio station). During this three-day mini-residency, MH set herself the task of improvising as much as possible with what was on the spot. 
The video was shown in 2012/2013 at the Casablanca Video Art Biennial and the Centrale Electrique (Brussels) as part of the art competition.

LIGNE OBSCURE




Leaded by the sound of her walk, the blindfolded performer follows the line in the dark. Sneakers’s soles have been covered with Velcro in order to adhere to the line made of the complementary fabric.

The sound is captured by a DPA Lavallier microphone attached to the ankle, amplified and broadcasted by the church speakers, with only natural reverbs.


Expanding the sound of the effort, it induces the difficult separation in between the person and the ground. The constraint brings both unbalance and support in the walking. Summoning Bruce Nauman minimalist historical performance, sport and religious iconographies the performance is an attempt to create an act inspired by middle age  « jugements de Dieu »
