Naïmé Perrette creates multi-layered investigations through video, digital collage, sculpture, and installation that engage with the underground—both literally, as cracks and cavities in the territory, and metaphorically, as fractures within societies. Her work often questions the technological relationships we maintain with our environments. The projects frequently take root in real sites whose specific activities reveal broader ideological structures: industrial zones, mines, artificial islands, or territories coveted for their resources and the ideals projected onto them.

In parallel, several of her films examine the role of labour in the construction of identity, both as a form of social grounding and as a system that shapes gestures and modes of thought. She often approaches these questions in relation with artistic practices, following communities that mobilise creativity to navigate their conditions. She is also interested in technologies and systems of representation, examining how they shape ways of seeing, legitimise certain forms of knowledge, and obscure others. At a formal level, whether through montage, image-making, or sculpture, she superimposes layers, complicates perspectives, and produces ever-shifting surface

- My 10.000 hours - feature length documentary film co-directed with Nicolas Koulibale

The film follows, over a period of five years, two rappers from Richmond, Virginia—Zuri and Nickelus F—and the community that surrounds them. Through the intersecting portraits of these two artists, separated by twenty years of experience, the film explores a hip-hop scene that has developed outside the music industry, where music serves as a form of social cohesion and collective resistance.

- Serpentine  - middle length documentary film co-directed with Jorrit Smit

In an era marked by climate change, conflicting narratives are clashing as people search for technical solutions. This is how "pioneers" are pinning their hopes on a new, almost mythical energy source: natural hydrogen, the first element in the creation of the universe, clean and potentially inexhaustible that could lie beneath our feet.   Filmed in the Pyrenees, where the first European exploration permit was granted, the project follows geologists, entrepreneurs, politicians, investors, activists, and residents brought together by this discovery, complicating the narrative being constructed around this “miracle” resource.
