Performance Head-Glass, 2021
This performance where I put my body to a severe test is a metaphor for the social body, which can be a nation, like Haiti, which is in a process of self-destruction. In this process, the international community or “friendly” states come to help her bleed more or destroy herself. By putting myself in this way I also show the pain I feel by helplessly assisting in the destruction of my country. This inner cry needed to come out violently. This performance can also be perceived as an appeal to my compatriots who are part of this large social body or body that is currently sick, explaining that a change of state can only come from within and must be made in depth in each of us by sacrificing what is bad and breaking the ice, that is, the barriers between us, the people of this country, barriers inherited from the colonial system that inhibits us from freeing ourselves and evolve totally.
Love is not a crime _ 2018 ,13 min loop
While love is not a crime, it remains a punisheable offense in many countries. Behind the debates on sexual orientation lies a simpler reality: the right to love. In Haiti, this right is fragile. Through this work, we illustrate the paradox of a nation oscillating between the acceptance of difference and the rejection of its own members. An immersion into the heart of a society that is at once loving and hostile.
