Do you know how elephants die?
“When an elephant feels that its time has come, it moves away from the herd, but not alone, it chooses a companion and they leave together.” Antonio Tabucchi, Tristano dies.
Texts left to themselves, videos in freedom and words on the run will draw up the heterogeneous totem of the artist’s great construction site, a work in progress…

In ” Animal Totem “, Clémentine Lemaître will present a series of videos made during her studies at the Ecole Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Strasbourg. Texts echoing reflections on Art, anecdotes about the videos or allusions to certain encounters will be staged and will punctuate the projections.

For several years, Clémentine has been developing “auto-fiction” pieces and staging her own character. She is constantly tying and untying the links between her life and her work. This presentation will be the first solo exhibition of the young artist and the beginning of her video installation project as part of her residency at Vidéoformes in 2009/2010.
