Léa Tissot-Laura (FR, 1994) and Anna Sougy (FR, 1997) are two French artists based in Brussels. They started collaborating in 2017 and since continue to synergise on diverse projects ranging from video installations to performances. By cross-pollinating their distinct practices, the friction of collaboration creates new questions that enrich their purpose and give new matter to their work: As Léa Tissot-Laura is mainly concerned with sexuality and the image of the off- and online body, Anna Sougy weaves open narratives from dreams and memories. While Léa draws inspiration from counteractions between rural and urban codes, Anna extracts meaning from the ‘unknown’, thus creating intimacy with the subliminal. When their practises merge, new motifs, interpretations and aesthetics are aroused. The video piece Sexy Pigs came into being through this hybridisation. Sexy Pigs commences when the food reserves of a pigsty are scarce. The pigs are starving, thus a political tale begins. The omniscient narrator guides us through scenes and landscapes of captured images and 3D renders. We dive into themes relating surveillance, power games, dreams and memories of adolescence that are questioned through the accumulation of metaphors and allegories. Polymorphous figures, hybrid species and uncanny transformations signify the critical situations we are going through as a society. In Sexy Pigs these moments of crisis all boil down to one question: How do we feed all the pigs?
