Florian Fouché: Manifeste Janmari

Since 2020, “The Janmari Manifesto” has been an ongoing work in progress. Around two hundred “close actions” with Philippe and other assistant/assisted actors and actresses have been filmed since the first months of the Covid 19 epidemic. Installed as an exhibit, the ensemble takes the form of an environment made up of accessory-objects, sculptures, and a video viewing area. A montage of filmed “close actions” is presented on three screens, each associated with a title: Philippe, A Memory of Janmari, Assisted Life/ A Life of (Re)Adaptation / Institutional Life.

After 10-rue-Saint-Luc (studio of the publisher L’Arachnéen), Bétonsalon – Center for Art and Research, MoMA Virtual Cinema and the Centre Pompidou Metz, Parliament Gallery is hosting the fifth version of “The Janmari Manifesto”.
