INCARNATIONS by Mathieu Samaille | Canada, France (2024)
Incarnations is a sensory video-poem about the confusion between the desire for the other and the desire to be the other. With grace and fluidity, it transports us into an identity discomfort which leads to the rejection of one’s own body, opened to solar others by desire for fusion, at the risk of suffering from abuse.
Thanks to a poetic interweaving of images, text and sound, the work develops the theme in two temporalities: we hear the voice of the interior discourse at the moment of the facts and we see the pictorial account of these facts, with a hindsight on their consequences.
Incarnations is a sensitive video-poem on the foundation of a personality, all in trauma and gentleness
Bio
Mathieu Samaille majored in literature and studied drama and digital arts. He is a Canadian and French Citizen.
In 2018, his experience in interdisciplinary arts, including writing, directing and editing, led to an interest in Video-Poetry, an immersive and ontological art form that explores the sensorial bonds between text, sound and image, transposing literary processes in media arts.
Pebbles Underground is focused on showcasing and promoting experimental, avant-garde, underground, and no-to-low budget projects by artist-humans from all over the world. Absurd, uncanny, witty, humorous, slow-video – all are welcomed, and loved.
Pebbles Underground is an independent project not funded by any government or corporation, and we intend to keep it that way. Main source of funding is personal donations from humans organizing the project, who are artists themselves, and the main drive of the project is formed by the energy and involvement of the organizers, and the public.
