GEDE VIZYON is a short, experimental documentary shot in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, as part of the 5th Ghetto Biennale. Produced in collaboration with Marcos Serafim (Brazil), Steevens Simeon (Haiti), Jean-Daniel Lafontant (Haiti), Evelyne Thelus aka Mambo Jacqueline (Haiti) and Jefferson (Zé) Kielwagen. Using a goat and two portable cameras, we captured video footage of the Port-au-Prince Grand Cemetery. Later, in response to this footage, Ougan (priest) Jean-Daniel Lafontant created the poetry that became the narration, and Mambo (priestess) Jacqueline sung the religious songs that became the soundtrack. These audio recordings happened at the house (shrine) of Ogou at Temple Narivéh, in Port-au-Prince.
