Exhibition:
Motel of the Watery Beings is a video work situated at the crossroads of different temporalities, blending realities and speculative narratives. The action takes place in the La Croisée motel on the outskirts of Martigny, a space inhabited by human and other-than-human presences.
The installation is enriched by a statue preserved prior to the work carried out in the former cabaret-motel, giving form to the figure of the siren, spirit of the Dranse.
Themes include mermaids, wastelands, hydrofeminism and the way plants, animals and other beings reclaim neglected spaces. Complementary fanzines offer keys to reading and explaining these reflections.
