PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Marabout
In Marabout, we documented the process of seeking spiritual intervention to spark artistic creation. We consulted a Muslim holy man (Marabout) and asked him to guide us in the production of a new work. Over several months, we negotiated the boundaries of faith and commitment, receiving specific instructions such as 'Wash your hands with the magic liquid' or 'Rest an onion on your stomach.' I worked alongside Nicolas Cilins to fulfill and document these ritualistic actions, transforming dictated mystical tasks into a fitful journey through solitude and performance. The resulting film blurs the lines between obsessive-compulsive gestures, the documentation of performance art, and genuine mysticism.
