Volcano Dig
”Reality as it is thought does not correspond to the reality being lived objectively, but rather to the reality in which the alienated man imagines himself to be” P. Freire.
Shows an operatic chant of 2 cultures entering into a dialogue generated in their ‘culture of silence’.
A video of figures in repetitious motion. A liminal state that follows the environent of the Abu-Graib effect, the artist questions the fragility of the role of women in her native hometown and elaborates certain ways of looking at identity and female mutilation.
Once the cracks in that dialogue begin, the faltering voices collapse under the echo of gunshots to enter into transition and the 1st movements of emergence submerge and silent masses begin to manifest themselves to become a flamenco-esque rhythm and into gradual silence. The figures in repetitious motionare dissociated from the action implied by the authentic thought. The alienated environment of the volcano prevents them from being accepted beyond their frontier, unless they are faithful to their particular world.
A liminal state that follows the environent of the Abu-Graib effect, I question the fragility of the role of women in my native hometown and elaborate certain ways of looking at identity, female mutilation and identifying the resonance of a political voice.
Deriving from the liminal of tribal and feudal rituals and different from the liminal as being more often the creation of individual through collective inspiration. The transition of the repetitive liminoid sequence trigger both problems and creativity, testifying to the emerging of masses in varying degrees of intensity and a new life. The film, which is also presented as performance, engages in a liminoid condition ariving between work and play and each departure requires a further transformation of the self in relation to otherness.
“Crouching to view, Nathalie’s world transports us to a distinctly other place where veiled androgynous figures carry out subservient actions that could be on another planet where the images and soundtrack set up a cultural dialogue in the viewers’ mind as one dissembles the symbolism“. Review by Jane Pitt.
A voice, a tradition misplaced, it is a work about the improbable; a constructed situation that prepares for the occasion of danger, about an assumed freedom, confronting foreignness, and self-contradiction. Can a mediation of a collective transforming praxis change the significance of the world?
