Notre forêt

Notre Forêt is a hybrid narrative, built from testimonies that the sound artist Félix Blume collected in the Brazilian Amazon, that is experienced and lived through headphones. This performance-installation summons the figure of La Curupira, and through its evocation, raises the question of the place of myth in our contemporary world, our imaginations and our relationship to nature. Notre Forêt is the affirmation of a popular belief still alive or forgotten, the present of a pure fiction, and above all it is a physical and compelling commitment against the violent threat of extraction. Spaces resonate with the essential and matrix space that is the forest. And by adapting visual expression to the given spaces, our cities become inhabited in a graphical sense, in order to make our living spaces resonate with the vitality and rootedness of the forest as a matrix.
