Summary :
Three meetings with T�n�man Samak�, which are proposed in three videos.

On September the 10th, 2002, at S�gou, he gives us his definition of �the boli� : private altar that you have in your bedroom�

The meeting of September the 9th, 2006, which was in the Faladi� district, at Bamako, with Christelle Mally. This appointment is called � Kadugugnugu � (to shrink the earth). He talks about his interest for the occidental movies : �Star Wars� and �Star Gate�. His thought concerns the analogies between these movies and the Bmanan cosmogony.

At the Mali, in summer 2002, I started to carry out portraits : artists, gallery managers, art students� I realized that a form should be found to the words I was hearing over there. These words had been stolen, deviated, caricatured� this way reproducing behaviours of authority and submission of which we know well the negative extensions. A fix shot and a minimal sound recording, with a mike and a sober editing. This is derisory, but, actually, the essential is there. I am convinced I have took the right decision. This constraint became a positive asset.
