100% polyester, objet dansant n° (à définir)

 

 

 

Visual art intallation by Christian Rizzo & Caty Olive

 

 

“ The origin of the project 100% polyester, objet dansant n° (à définir) comes from the desire to be able to present a dance from which the body-material is missing. I wanted to make visible the “dancing” idea that a contemplation/hypnosis time would lead to, an imaginary reasoning, and/or a reflection on absence. also the desire to bring together my principal activities (movement, costume, sound) into one project.

100% polyester, objet dansant n° (à définir) is a project relying on the fragility and the simplicity of the proposition. Then, it seems important for me to recontextualise this object for each performance. Thus, “hanging/time/progress/material” are modified according to the architectural place. ”
