Tohu va bohu - Film - 13min - 2022

presented as part of the exhibition Panorama 24

They spin, wobble, shake and leap. Out of the corner of my eye, I see bottles being knocked over, then I see my hands trembling, rejecting the food they were raising to my mouth only a moment ago. We can’t help ourselves, the dance contaminates us, transports us and intoxicates us in a swirl of hair, sweat and feathers. Some scream, others wet themselves. The village is on its knees. The feet pound the arid ground, the storm sets the tempo.

Lou Le Forban


Born in Marseille in 1997, Lou Le Forban entered the Paris Beaux-Arts in 2015. She spent a year as an exchange student at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf. In 2020, she obtained her DNSAP and began studying at Le Fresnoy. She is a member of two art collectives focused on performance and curating, Triovisible and Sheesh collective. Her practice involves a regular back and forth between drawing, dance and video.
