What [un]tangles us is about knitting. Knitting as a skill that generations of women have passed on to each other. Knitting as the way our grandmothers were using this craft compared to the way we do today. Finally, knitting is the link that bonds the artist to her grandmother as a way to tell us their respective stories and to unknit them. Together with narratives, testimonials and sound creation, What [un]tangles us is a podcast and an artistic performance produced by the artist Marcy Petit with the collaboration of Fabien Bourlier in 2022.

    Ce qui nous [dé]lie

    Ce qui nous [Dé]lie parle de tricot. Le tricot comme savoir faire que des générations de femmes se sont transmis les unes aux autres; le tricot de nos aïeules face aux tricot des jeunes d'aujourd'hui et enfin, le tricot comme le lien que l'artiste entretient avec sa grand-mère afin de nous raconter leurs histoires respectives. Réunissant narration, témoignages et création sonore, ce podcast est une œuvre à part entière qui dialogue avec une performance artistique.  Lors de cette performance, l'artiste Marcy Petit détricote sur scène une robe rouge précédemment tricotée, jusqu'à ce qu'il n'en reste rien d'autre qu'une toile d'araignée rouge. Par cette alliance de l'audio et du visuel, l'œuvre finale se veut une réminiscence ainsi qu'une remise en question de cet héritage légué par nos aïeules. Le podcast existe également en version anglaise. La performance est disponible en vidéo et en ligne sur Vimeo: Marcy Petit
