MAKING ART
Does a renewal of behaviors involve abandoning the past’s phraseology and the emergence of a new aesthetic, exploring a new regime of statements, and experimenting with a new organization of bodies? The question of the artistic genre is the argument for a possible research that would reflect contemporary social issues which manifest a strong movement around the notion of identity (be it based on community, geography, politics, etc.). Starting with the principle that only new experiences allow for the development of new paradigms (Levi-Strauss), a research can be launched based on the hypothesis of inventing a new way to name actions, and therefor in the first place inventing new moves which would serve as examples of an unidentified and ungendered art form, open to all. This movement can draw inspiration from the notion of cross-dressing, which would involve the reproduction and transformation of the languages associated to referenced works or specific artistic concepts.

Disguising art and renewing its forms of expression blend into a single desire to experiment, where the involvement of the living body and its representation, the study of self, and a manner of togetherness draw a demarcation from the virtualization of desires, ideologies, and engagements. A sensitive and incarnated research which takes a different perspective on artworks’ identities, and opens up a path for uncategorized poetic constructions elaborated through the sole use of body, speech and image in a neutral space. A minimalist process that allows for new narrative phenomena which pertain to the common foundations of dance, cinema and research.
