terrainGLISSANT
terrainGLISSANT is a live art experience exploring deportation, migration and exile from colonisation onto globalisation. I dig into my intimacy and retrace epigenetics patterns to craft a live mapping for the outside world.
terrainGLISSANT is a collective exodus inside a time capsule made of space, time, matter and life.
I am the vessel of a situational dilemma where linguistics, movement, and culture are wrestling for our future memories.
What does it mean to have a nomadic soul and a transitory history?
How does it feel to have a mutable identity and a shared memory?
When the memory compass is disoriented, the time of territories and the space of sentiments must become a bridge, a dead end, or even a dead beginning. I go back and move forward simultaneously to reach this elasticity that history refuses us.
With terrainGLISSANT I deploy a collective artistic research in motion about the movement that leads us to this moment in real time.
