Summary :
Three meetings with Tnman Samak, which are proposed in three videos.
On September the 10th, 2002, at Sgou, 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.
