Routes de L'Anthropocène
Photographie numérique,
cadres en bois
2015


C’est une série de photographies faites au bord de routes industrielles et rurales en Champagne, la quatrième région la plus industrialisée de France. Elles témoignent de formes bien aplaties, triangulaires, maîtrisées par la main de l’homme. Les vues montrent des paysages de production de bois, d’énergie, de blé.

Ces indices photographiques viennent former une mise en espace qui déjoue et rejoue les formes pour les décontextualiser, les assembler différemment. Les images sont accompagnées de cadres qui ne cadrent pas les photographies au sens traditionnelle, mais qui flottent dans l’espace et viennent donc cadrer les photographies selon le point de vue du spectateur.

Las fotografías son tomadas en rutas rurales e industriales, de la región de Champagne, la cuarta mas industrializada en Francia. Ellas testimonian de formas planas, triangulares, controladas por la mano del hombre. Alli vemos paisajes de producción de madera, de energía, de trigo.

Estos paisajes indiciales forman una puesta en escena que hace y deshace las formas allí presentes para descontextulizarlas y asamblarlas de manera diferente. Las imágenes son acompañadas de cuadros que no encuadran en el sentido clásico de la palabra, sino que flotan en el espacio y encuadran las fotografías según el punto de vista del espectador.
This series of photographs and objects that becomes an installation are the first two parts of the Queer Constellation. The black and white printed photographs are made from queer fetish objects, in a performative gesture of surveying intimate and public places. The images are intervened with words. There emerges a language of Abya Yala's intersectional feminism. One could say a queer and anti-racist eco feminism.
On the other hand, photographs of performances with starry backgrounds are used as metaphors. On the one hand this re-situates the human in a geological and cosmic scale, on the other hand it shows different constellations or worlds co-inhabiting together. A world that contains many worlds as the Zapatistas say.

This installation around a feminist SF tells the utopia of a queer community, propelled by the global south, which seeks autonomy of its food and health and does not want to reproduce the society of today. It is in search of in search of ancestral and contemporary body memories and ecological knowledge to redefine their territories and boundaries in different parts of the world and in cyber space. This series is imagined as a diversity of constellations where | address issues such as care through medicinal plants, emotional digestion, dancing as a way of performing bodily and self-care tools; gender deconstruction, alternative thoughts and writings.
 
In this context | program different laboratories and collective workshops that allow the movement of bodies and thoughts, the conversation and the construction of multiple points of view, in collaborative care environments. Some of these collective and individual photographs are the result of invitations and the setting up of the workshop "Pelvica": danced ritual, medicinal plants, drawing and automatic writing & collective performance photography. These laboratories were activated in Colombia, with the help of the traversées grant, at the Tour Mercuriales in Bagnolet within Plateau Urbain and at the Cité Internationale des Arts, as a laureate of the Fondation Carasso. This series is currently in post-production, is open and will continue.
