DÉMARCHE / APPROACH
On the uses of the body
I would like to develop an acute reflection on the body and its representations. Made up of relief and hollows, it offers itself or hides from the gaze. It is therefore with shrewdness that I carry out my investigations on the body as a subject, object and multitude of constructions (aesthetic, social, political, biological…). Subjected to a world order to which it must conform, but also made of its own fantasies and physical utopias, the body offers an infinite source of writing. At the crossroads of anthropological observation and formal abstraction, my research examines the power of the body and its irreducible nature.
Writing at the crossroads of forms
Having abandoned literally narrative forms, today I would like to explore the potential of narration. I like to summon the body, light, sound and set design, because it is from the links between these elements that writing emerges. My works are, in this sense, aesthetic, sensitive and perceptive as well as physical narrations. With them, I assert my desire to share (as opposed to “communicate”) an experience with the spectator. Liberating the writing from the “story” seems to me fundamental to awaken the viewer’s gaze.
Shared practices
My projects are also part of creative challenges and processes with different partners. They are about inventing new practices with people, structures, institutions and artists in different places. What the concept of mediation means to me is based on the same concerns. Because pedagogy is not so much transmission as the sharing of experiences around the body, I like to leave the distinction between mediation and creation undefined. I therefore see my process as a space for the confrontation of experiences.
