Jérémie Le Hénaff

After studying political science in Rennes and at the Sorbonne, Jérémie Le Hénaff specialized in Franco-German journalism and documentary filmmaking. Alongside his experience as a journalist (ARTE: Karambolage, le Dessous des Images), his documentary practice allowed him to develop a unique authorial perspective on the world. In his film Poiésis, made with Vincent Jondeau during the Rocabella residency, he analyzes the creative work of the residents. The artistic process is presented through the multitude of simple gestures that comprise it. Viewers are invited to sit in the studio alongside the artists as they vocalize their evolving creations.

For his residency at Rocabella, Jérémie Le Hénaff, alongside Vincent Jondeau, is undertaking the ambitious project of documenting the genesis of the residency through a documentary film focused on artistic reflection and process. Drawing on his expertise gained from Le Dessous des Images, he not only films artists at work but also seeks to "read" and "translate" the creative process unfolding within the estate. His documentary aims to be a living archive and a mediation tool, offering an unprecedented immersion into the collective intelligence of the estate, where "doing" is as important as the "result."
