Tohé Commaret

In his hybrid body of work, where reality and fiction intersect, Tohé Commaret explores the sensorial possibilities of the cinematographic medium, from cell phone to film reel, natural settings to artificial stagings, everyday life to hallucinatory scenes. Generally scriptless, in order to foster co-authorship and improvisation, his films capture what the protagonists wish to reveal about their inner lives, so that the form can better reflect the subject matter. The artists reveal stories that we tell ourselves to mask a painful reality — the identities that we impose on ourselves and the ways in which we extricate ourselves from their shackles.
