How It Begins - Film - 12min - 2024
presented as part of the exhibition Panorama 26

A fire woman preventively burns forests in North Carolina in order both to regenerate the land and avert devastating wild blazes. In this gradual plunge into the flames, the act of setting fire becomes an intimate and direct experience of the elements.

She is a graduate of the École nationale supérieure de la photographie in Arles and Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains.
