Tohé Commaret

In her hybrid work, which lies at the intersection of documentary and fantasy, Tohé Commaret explores the sensory potential of cinema - from mobile phones to film, from natural settings to contrived scenographies, from the mundane to the hallucinatory. Her films are usually shot without a script, in order to encourage co-authorship and improvisation and to capture what the protagonists want to reveal of their inner selves, and so that the medium thus best reflects the subject. Tohé Commaret brings to the surface the stories we tell ourselves to block out the pains of reality, the identities that are imposed on us and the ways in which we extricate ourselves from their straitjacket.
