Souconna & August, 1838
The film August, 1838 is a draft scene from a longer work of speculative fiction. The installation, Souconna, presents a scenographic reconstruction of the bedroom in which the film’s protagonist sleeps and dreams. In the space : a silvered waterlily (conjured from the Saône river), three gum bichromate prints of riverine vegetation and flora, an amphora turned from Robinia pseudoacacia.
