September 2002: initial stages of a choreographic
work while staying at the Paris National Dance Centre facilities.
Creation of a video about superimposing bodies: The 3 Attempts
target 1
Working on splitting oneself in two, on how one body
can have various aspects. Working behind closed doors: creating creation space
for several people alone. One, unique, single lonely, the exception.
What is after zero.
Zero, one, zero, one. A numerical composition.
Cloning the number one.
Believing making others believe that there are many.
Creating an illusion, bluffing.
target 2
Setting up a process of creation similar to that
of the lively show; by using video and film projection.
Erasing reality and the body in its physical and stage composition.
A true picture and a virtual picture striving towards the same painting, the
same screen, the same stage.
target 3
Working on the concept of time.
A slightly shifted juxtaposition of a repeating present which is brought forward.
Splitting in two, cloning. Simultaneously repeating the gesture, the shape.
Observing beings, gestures, new gestures being born from the other space,
from other objects.
Propelling by staying inside, imagining. The behaviour of a being faced with
a new object, with a future object. The growing fear of the unknown. A bric-a-brac
of thoughts. From meaning to the absurd.
