Camille Brasselet , winner of the “Les femmes s’exposent” festival’s creative grants for her project “suken path”
« Based on the etymological translation of Houlgate as a “sunken path”, I want to take a unique look at this seaside town in Normandy. Originally from Normandy, I grew up around these landscapes and seaside towns; they nourished me and remain a very strong anchor for me. This new series will be an auto-fiction in the form of an alter ego who wanders through the town. The town of Houlgate will once again resonate with the ambiguity between reality and fiction, through its architecture, its colours, its beach – like a set that has been fabricated from scratch.
The term ‘sunken path’ evokes the paradox of a wandering in which the character seeks his place: at once an alter ego blind to the knowledge of this place, but at the same time a little girl trying to find the traces of her past. »
