Baguenaudes

After the War, a very personal story dealing with death and friendship, Marion Jdanoff continues his personal prospecting work. This time, we stay on the relational level but no one is going to die. The question is rather "how to be close?" Baguenaudes is an attempt to get out of frequent pitfalls that punctuate intimate relationships and the proximity of body. Marion Jdanoff did it above all for herself, because her relationship with physical interactions seem complicated to him. It suddenly seemed obvious to him that Drawing and storytelling in pictures would be the ideal way to explore this terrain. accident. She uses them as formidable tools of invention, of materializations of imaginaries, of emotions. The exercise is doubly exciting: what images to make and how to make them. Baguenaudes is a slightly messy toolbox that she can open to tell her story relationship to bodies. His own, that of others. A user guide and a box of games. His Tinder profile of sorts. Why post such a search personal? Good question. Because she is not an isolated case. We are caught in complex networks of power relations which are lodged deep within our bodies. It is not so surprising that we encounter difficulties in the same places. How to invent something of your own? How and What to talk about? Suggesting imaginaries, building them, alone, as a couple, as a group of three, 18. Know how to share and adjust them. In short, first of all, wandering, mountaineering hyper technical will come later. And only if we want it. The idea here is to tinker with a series of tools and hope they can be re-appropriated. Hence the bet of take Baguenaudes out of the drawer.
