The Body of my soul
Vidéo Installation
The Body of my soul is a video installation.
This installation questions us about the love relation and the pacts that we weave all in our life and ask the question of the freedom in the union beyond the sacred, the symbols and the dogmae.
The installation stages the bridal dress. Suspended in the sights, this dress livens up in an appearance which seems angelic, magic... While the dramatic art takes place in the airs by a video projection with scale 1, the visitor is invited to participate in the ceremonial.
Maflohé wished to celebrate the Roma gypsy woman, so returning an emotional tribute to her distant roots, the inheritance of which she feels strongly. She stages naturally to concern in this installation the comment the multiple discrimination of the Roma women and on their social exclusion. Icon believer, ambivalent, provocating and seductive bride, restricted in her movements, imprisoned by male hands without body, appearing any goshawk, this board evokes the dance, the shouts, the laughter, the tears and proposes, in a surprising direction, a dramatic art expressionist in an interactive sound environment.
This artwork inaugurates a series of installations which will question the feminine identity, the loving pact through the ancestral traditions met in various cultures, with the desire to bind faiths and superstitions to the contemporary technologies to make live the timelessness of the transmission. The traditional dresses carried for the celebrations or ceremonies will become media of the works to come, convey of communication, worked again with new intelligent and communicating textiles to pass on the paiens and\or religious rituals by using contemporaries and innovative materials.
