Cifas · Eden Tinto Collins - Les icônes ne meurent jamais

Sound recording of Eden Tinto Collins' guided meditation recorded on 19 September during Feral 2025 (Brussels).

A Pinch of Kola is a quantum sitcom that plunges us into the space-time travels of Jane Dark, an avatar of the controversial figure of Joan of Arc, who embarks on an existential and transhistorical quest. Over two seasons, Eden Tinto Collins composes a delirious interstellar imaginary, with a DIY feel and a low-tech aesthetic. Filmed at the former Abattoirs de la Villette (Paris) and in the port city of Nantes, where hundreds of thousands of slaves were deported, A Pinch of Kola evokes the memory of these places and explores new paths towards reparation.

The day after the screening at Feral 2025, Eden Tinto Collins continued the journey with "a stroll through the imaginal world": a guided meditation that "propels us into a vibrational journey to the heart of the 15th century" and invites us, like Jane Dark, to make our bodies our own media, a channel for composing our own narratives and "singing history differently".

Eden Tinto Collins (born in 1991 in France, of Ghanaian descent) lives between Paris and Brussels. Trained at the École nationale supérieure d'arts de Paris-Cergy, she is developing a hybrid artistic practice, both poetic and hypermedia, through noetic devices that link mind and spirit. Her works, mainly in the form of installations, explore networks, interdependencies and frictions between melancholy, mythologies and post-, trans- and cyber-human imaginaries. In 2021, she published Bonne Arrivée, a generational tale of initiation, and founded Acéphale Studio (Joinville-le-Pont), followed by Ka Libre Ensemble, a production company. In 2024, Roaming The Imaginal marked her first solo exhibition in Belgium at Beursschouwburg.
