Cotton Chronicles

Cotton Chronicles is what its title may describe, an account, a chronicle of an artist's stay in Benin, a description of the workers' activities at the working site, in a warehouse full of toxic and expired pesticide meant for cotton cultivation. A day to day travellog of events, disparate impressions and landscapes, a celluloid journal edited on camera. One could consider this analogy: the celluloid short shots pasted one after the other are like an artist's rough sketches on his sketchbook. Mystery can be found in small gestures, shot here and there, they could then be the verses of a poem.
