In the name of our mother
As the key I swallowed traveled deep into my spine
it unraveled the threads that wove my being
Through the long path it touched my curse -
Skip, skip, skip
Sweat turns to oceans
Where lost spirits swim
Ohhh father, one word and our bones are yours
One word and the horizon becomes the thread -
- that stitches us all back together.
We embraced our fate,
Feeding the earth with the silken flesh
Of our mortal souls.
Emanci (t) ation (n) (p)
In the name of our sons
My black nipples hang to the ground
in search of roots to escape
Freedom abandoned us for rage
That shiver comes with shame
I dig deep, yearning to touch your core,
Yet the undercurrent of self-preservation
Drifts me apart.
Consumed where all could see
I wear my shame like a second skin.
Just silence where a soul once lived.
My courage wears the veil of a femme de joie
Nowhere to hide
I barter parts of myself for hope,
That crumble like ash in the wind.
Come undone by a genocide of stars.
Oh fist of dignity, enter my meat...
Choose my heart once again
Lace (t) ation (r) (n)
In the name of the holy spirit
The devil sucks me like ice
drip by drip, cut by cut
We become one
Peri-neum
My convictions disappear in my reflection
Ohhh white s(k)ins
Don't forget the weight of your sins
As the skeletons of your past become your altar
On your knees, you will become slaves
Serving the empty black hole that once held all your certainties
4 times you will die before finding peace
4 times you will scream before finding a voice
4 times you will birth before finding life
4 times you will disappear before finding a gaze
Bury Your Masters combine une réflexion personnelle et historique avec la rupture et la renaissance, à travers un jeu de médias et de matériaux variés, imaginant un monde à la fois sacré et instable, où les vestiges du passé persistent. Manuel Mathieu a exploité le pouvoir de l'abstraction pour créer une installation qui passe de deux à trois dimensions, se déployant comme une cérémonie immersive de confrontation aux vérités. À travers ses explorations matérielles, Mathieu a mis en lumière la lutte pour la dignité et l'autoconservation dans un monde où une expérience collective et équitable de la réalité semble impossible.
