2022 Blue Sound 

Relations create individuals. In Blue Sound, the artist dresses a dancer with a costume made of blue ceramic feathers. It’s blue, heavy, and noisy. The model is in the middle of the room, standing in front of the creator that now faces them, observes them and amplifies their sounds. Breathing, clapping of the little pieces of ceramic, everything becomes bigger and louder. By exploring the relationships in which they are taken, the vulnerable dancer falls into a deviation, loses their model condition, changes side, becomes something strong, violent, aggressive. A bird is at war. Little by little, the jacket loses its pieces, the armor gets lighter.

Blue Sound, 2022
Performance, Atelier Dédale, 14e Printemps de l’Art Contemporain, Marseille.
Faïence blanche, oxyde bleu roi, veste en coton, micro-cravates et synthétiseur.
Le buste est moulé du mien, de mes seins.
Danser avec le poids de la carapace, de l’apparence, du regard de l’autre, de son attente.
Digérer le bruit du vêtement, de l’armure. Manger le micro. Diriger. Tout casser et s’ouvrir les pieds.
