Prendre coutumeQue viennent faire les deuilleurs en cette affaire ? brings a voice and a temporal dimension to the exhibitions of the same name. It returns in the footsteps of an ancestor, borrows the same paths to wonder about the transmission in a country of oral tradition, New Caledonia. Practices and objects of the Kanak custom are described through several testimonies punctuated by crossings through the mining landscape producing an imagery out of time, suspended.

She holds a Ph.D. in Social Anthropology (EHESS Paris 2003), and a MA in Social Sciences (ULB Brussels 1995).
