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.
ABOUT THE FILMMAKER
Chloé Wasp (she/her) is a visual artist and filmmaker from Lille (France). She is a graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie in Arles and Le Fresnoy – Studio National des Arts Contemporains. She weaves her practice around myths, altered states of perception, and experiences of otherness across species. At the core of these explorations, the body emerges as a constant thread.
