In 2017, I traveled to Port-au-Prince for a collaboration with a group of young Haitians artists. The voodoo rite is omnipresent in Haitian society, including the figure of the zonbi, a dead person brought back to life in order to be reduced to slavery. 
Back in Switzerland, I began to explore the relationship to Death in his own Western cultures. I soon realized that the fear of a dead being brought back to life is not only reflected in voodoo. The European "dance of death" of the 15th century, which appeared in Europe after several episodes of famine and epidemic wars, are proof of this. It seems like human always need to recall, inexorably and crudely, the ephemeral nature of life. 
The fear of dying, the anguish of tomorrow, are still, and more than ever in those times of pandemia, present in today's society. I’m convinced that the Dance of Death still has a say in today’s world. 
The video installation "One More Dance" is part of a broader artistic exploration of our relationship to death, weaving links between eras and cultures, using humour in many ways. 
Skeletons dressed like carnival, are dancing together with human figures (or myself) and animals. They pass from one landscape to the other, as if they were part of a strange nightmare. The film is made in B&W with no sound, and takes up the codes of German expressionist cinema. The installation on four monitors set in a line runs in a loop, so the dance, that lasts about 2 minutes, can be seen over and over again.
