Private Project

The Lamb

The result of a collaboration between the indisciplinary poets and artists Hélène Matte and Marion Collé, the video Le Gigot brings poetry to life by exploring its relationship to the body and to sacrifice.

in the ravage of the real
the hemorrhage of living
she spins she spins spins

flesh sacrificed alive for your entertainment
gymnastics of letters and skin
the heightened poetry
ardent videography
