La Traversée
2018
Performance
42 minutes
Port of Castelnaudary
As part of Horizons d’eaux #2, regional programming of les Abattoirs, Musée – Frac Occitanie, Toulouse, France
This performance was created for the contemporary art exhibition Horizons d’Eaux, which took place along the Canal du Midi. The route of the canal was drawn on the ground, then traced by an inflatable boat filled with water. The boat was then launched and pulled across the canal by the strength of my arms. My body disappears behind the empty boat. The crossings are like the many possible or impossible journeys that take place every day at sea or elsewhere, in order to escape.
