Discover Amina Jendly's exhibition Motel of the Watery Beings at the Médiathèque de Martigny, on show from October 31 to December 3.
An immersive video crossing different temporalities, Motel of the watery beings takes viewers into the singular world of the Motel de la Croisée, on the outskirts of Martigny. Between reality and speculative narratives, you can meet human and other-than-human inhabitants, alongside the mermaid inspired by the spirit of the Dranse. A statue rescued from the former cabaret-motel extends this experience, allowing a face-to-face encounter with the aquatic protagonist.
The work poetically explores mermaid figures, wastelands, hydrofeminism and the vitality of plants, animals and other beings that discreetly reinvest neglected places. Fanzines illuminate and enrich these themes, opening up sensitive and engaged perspectives.
The Halloween event on October 31, 2025 promises to be an unforgettable evening, with a mermaid parade and masquerade costume competition on the theme of “Water Beings”, featuring children, teens and adults alike. Kiftif’s energetic DJ set will set the mood. The night continues with bewitching performances by La Belladone, Laura Marie Berner and Filippo Fibbioli in a celebration of aquatic imaginations and festive pleasures.
Opening on 31.10.2025 at 6.00 pm at the Médiathèque, Martigny.
