David Cerito

Kamun, digital artist, works mainly with new media. His approach is social, to be close to those far from the cultural world by questioning their environments.
The starting point of this work was the realization and the shaping of portrait from the oval shape. It was a matter of unconsciously re-creating a new family, The BROWN Family whose characteristics go beyond the simple color brown.
His portraits (still images) were the starting point for an experimentation for an animated film Speak BROTHER Speak. The first intention was that it be "the mouth of those who have no mouth" as Aimé Césaire wrote, using sound extracts (music, reportage...). The artist wishes to propose a new speech.
The “démounage” of its characters allows the artist to point out questions of society (vaccine obligation, chlordecone, problematic water...) and to put the various protagonists in the center of the debate.
As we go along, a primer (fist man, ghost octopus...) has been created to reinforce this staging and make the work easier to understand.
The “démounage”: the fact of destructuring his portraits so that they are marked by this suffering. Term inspired by the Creole language and invented by the artist.
