Celle qui a tourné dix mille fois sept fois sa langue dans sa bouche avant de ne pas parler, ou elle en est morte, ou elle connaît sa langue et sa bouche mieux que tous

The two variations evoke a country, Vainoki, inhabited solely by women and ruled by the queen Hina. These women mate with the aerial roots of the Pandanus odoratissimus, of which the youngest, free, turn toward the ground. Girls alone are born into the world. — Serge Dunis

Hina submerges her aging body in the water. Skin and hair float to the surface; she sheds. In order to regain her vitality, Hina exposes herself extensively to the sun. It’s from this idea of the regenerative power of light that the project takes its inspiration. The women wearing white bodysuits in the exposition space take care of the room, of the architecture, and of the materials that it is made up of. They are the guardians, acting through their gestures, emitting soothing sounds broken occasionally by sharp cries.
