Connivéncia
2023
Exhibition views at La Loge, Bruxelles
With the support of the Pernod Ricard Fondation and the Centre National d'Arts Plastiques (CNAP).
Interviewed through the prism of gender, the Sanglières transcend the generational and historical divides of capitalism to consider the interdependence of minority histories that are often silenced or forgotten. The very title “Connivéncia”, the translation of connivance in Occitan, calls to mind the tacit understanding and signs (in the landscape, through footprints or burn marks in the landscape; through tattoos on bodies) of recognition at the origin of the new alphabet that connects the Sanglières community. In the valley where the artist lives, and in collaboration with all the nonprofessional actors in the film, their language has gradually seeped into reality and tinged the future with a coming insurrection.
