Joëlle de La Casinière


The artist La Casinière, celebrated by Gilles Deleuze / Felix Guattari as exemplarily “nomadizing,” created the eccentric music video poem Grimoire Magnétique. A soprano sings passages from the life story of this tenth-century Muslim martyr in French. The text can be seen in the video in the style of a Karaoke, and an orientalizing visual world appears.
