Tabita Rezaire presents her film “Des/astres” (2004) on the occasion of her solo exhibition at the Fondation Louis Vuitton as part of the Open Space program. She unveils the final chapter of a trilogy dedicated to the connections humanity weaves with the cosmos.

This new film was shot on the Guiana Plateau in the Amazonian rainforest and unfolds in four chapters – forest, water, stone, sky –, each offering a unique way to connect with the cosmos. 

For the presentation of this film, the artist has designed a “planetarium hut” (a carbet), inspired by Amazonian vernacular architecture. As “Des/astres” is projected on the underside of the hut’s domed roof, viewers are invited to lie down in hammocks, hand-woven in keeping with the Kali’na and Lokono traditions.

Arter ensures the executive coordination and technical implementation of this exhibition.
