- BEM-TE-VI

- Video HD, 15'35", 2017

walked through the jungle in Brazil, it was so quiet that I could only hear the song of the local bird BEM-TE-VI - Bien te voir - and my breath. Seeing five people there, I continued my walk, but wherever my steps took me, they always emerged before me, again and again, until nightfall.

Specifically, BEM-TE-VI was shot on August 22, 2017, from 4:55pm to 5:12pm, in the jungle west of Recife, Brazil. I relate in a sequence shot what happened on my way, this relationship with these people but also the relationship with myself through a sequence shot. My body is the place where "sin" can escape and I want to confront it and erase it. However, refusing the discontinuity of this crossing, I gave myself and these five people a kind of "destiny", experiencing what comes close to the limit of this traced path.
