Tabita Rezaire Interview - Open Space #16

Duration
2:18
Artist Tabita Rezaire, invited to the Fondation as part of the Open Space programme, presents her exhibition "Des/astres". From Gallery 8, she unveils the final chapter of a trilogy dedicated to the connections humanity weaves with the cosmos.

This new film was shot on the Guiana Plateau in the Amazonian rainforest and unfolds in four chapters – forest, water, stone, sky –, each offering a unique way to connect with the cosmos. Stone circles, tall trees and water spirits become technologies of cosmic exploration, much like the rockets from the Guiana Space Centre hurtling toward space. Testimonials gathered from tradition-keepers, shamans, astrophysicists and researchers shed light on the ancestral heritage of a land in which, through a constellation of perspectives, popular beliefs coexist with scientific theories.
