Motion made me relearn reading and writing. Text is the cornerstone of my work, under the condition that we treat it the same way as any other material. This way, it inhabits the book, playing with the editorial conventions, or it vibrates from the body of an imaginary being in fragile clothes.
By the way, words are sometimes an excuse. If I wish to become a fish, I’ll write about the ocean, after sewing the last hems of my shiny outfit. Then the fish will scream the words in a microphone. If comes the idea of a poster wider than me, I will invent a large narrative to be printed on it.
Through performance art, I hope to tell stories that, if they are not understood, could at least make people laugh or cry. I expect a show to be realizable with limited means, so that the pieces of furniture of the room (a table, a video projector, a curtain…) could be sufficient to draw a scenic space. Likewise, the costume has to be easily hidden inside everyday clothing, from the tank top to the sock including a pocket lining.
Otherwise, the boxes the noises the words […] the fixed images or motion pictures which accompagny my art practice are meant to be modular, to be (re)assembled according to a context, rather than ultimate artworks.
If I sometimes sit at my desk to write, creative writing is still a living process. In this idea, I am currently developping writing workshops mixing danse, improvisation and collective organization.
