The objective of the project was to create a series of puppets and marionettes that could be used by those attending the Mobile Library and generate new ways of telling stories or representing them. The puppets were created by the resident using different techniques of sewing, assembly and colors created by the same artist for each specific character. The name of the project is in Chatino and means “rare animal”.

Born in Brussels, Sébastien Capouet (born 1989) has an artistic practice that operates in constant dialogue between painting and photography, where each medium questions and extends each other. Simultaneously, the artist has realized two films: BING (2017 based in the carnival ritual of Binche (Belgium), with its mythical figure from Gille; and JUN (in progress), a movie that is seen as a momentary capture of a flow, the flow of a poet’s imagination found in the mountains of Veracruz (México). Sebastian Capouet’s work has as objective to create a sensible space that invites an imagery found between the documentary and the dreamlike. Through various media, his work usually takes on notions where the figures and characters are utilized as catalysts of memories and stories, fictional interfaces as individual as collective.
