About
As long as, performance and installation, evokes ancestral fears through symbolic images
of fire, shadow, death ; this in a paradoxically calm and stable atmosphere. To the sound
of fire answers to the instinctual wisdom of a living owl on a pedestal, as the guardian who
knows how to differenciate the alarm from the mythic and regenerating fire ; then a mysterious figure is repeatedly and very slowly collapsing and recovering her posture, reminding
at the same time a scultpure, a black virgin, and a ghost; to end up with a fight between
two men, where pain and ressentment seem to evaporate in each new breath they take. All
scenes have no real beginning and no end, as the title of the work – « As long as » is an
infinite movement, presented as a physical experience for the viewer – this one becoming
the resonator of each proposed scene or living image.
The key of those three scenes is the air – or what moves us. Essential element which allows
fire to be maintained, emotivity to calm down, body to take back its form. It underlies all the
living and regenerates everything.
« As long as » wants to get deep in the wild and benefic essence of the images it shows
– beyond their possible violent or negative connotations in our actual society. This project
evokes what cannot be exhausted, what reconstitutes and perpetues itself, tirelessly.
This project was first shown in Recyclart, in three small contiguous rooms for an audience of 15 people at a
time to allow intimacy with the scenes. However it is adaptable to different kind of spaces, different capacity
room and spatial arrangement to become an in situ perfomance.
A video captation was made during this preview, as a communication tool – the idea being to keep this project
a live experience.
