How to hold the emptiness: 3 attempts

Add to selection Download PDF

This video is broken down into 3 chapters: Le Slow (slow dance), Le vent (the wind) and La barrière (the barrier). The central theme of loss in this performative work is portrayed through the attempt to hold onto breakable or intangible things. In the vast surrounding landscape, the actions are juxtaposed to the strong presence of natural elements, like wind and fog. Although the performances implicate some endurance, they mostly speak to poetic connections of care, dependency, and transformation.
