The work is the remake of a b-roll movie with no image on the screen.The artist uses the script and timing from a documentary on a health campaign about sleeping sickness., a movie making the promotion of the eradication of the fly tees-tsé by means of the nuclear technology. Having the original time-code, the artist chose to erase the images and to replace them by the script retranscribed in subtitles.The images having disappea- red, only the words and the sounds offer to each the possibility of representing itself the epidemic and its consequences.
