Installation

Dancing. Drawing. Drawing dance. Dancing drawing. Being the drawing of a dance or the dance of a drawing. Bringing back to one’s self, to one’s body, the lines, the space, the architecture that separate the body from its setting. Implicit bodies. Wrinkling, creasing space onto the self. Pulling/pushing movements. Attempting to draw into oneself until they pull away. Movements of extraction. Working on a passage through fragility and an inner path. Working the wall. The fourth wall, the one connecting the viewer to the stage, the one whereby we are, in a shared space and time, with the dancer, and, at the same time, in an absolute solitude. Working on appearance. Appearance and disappearance. Back and forth of full and empty. Vibration body, reverb-body.
