Marine Hugonnier - Profile

Marine Hugonnier works predominantly with film and photography. Her practice is infused by a long standing interest in the anthropology of images. At Malmö Konsthall Hugonnier will screen her new film The Secretary of the Invisible which was shot on the river Niger next to the city of Niamey as a tribute to Jean Rouch, the famous French anthropologist and film director. This film features Damouré Zika and Moussa Hamidou, who were Jean Rouch's principle actor and sound engineer, respectively. The film is set during 'Cinema day', a day during which people in Niamey could see as much films as they want with only one ticket. This day also coincides with an unofficial 'Holley' ceremony, an animist Songhai ritual. Damouré and Moussa embark on a pirogue and head upstream to the place where the ceremony is due to take place. As they go along, they recount stories and talk about cinema. During the trip the director swaps a small radio for a mask from South West Africa which soon is to be understood as the key event in the film. This mask, which is a vehicle to enable man to embrace the spirit of an animal, once submitted to the 'Holley' ceremony reveals the figure of a chameleon. The film was made in homage to Jean Rouch and the chameleon stands as a symbol for the 'author/director' in general. The reptile's change of colour; his invisibility and ability for camouflage are placed in parallel with the ability of the director and his camera to become the 'invisible eye' and to remain in the service of this condition.
