The portrait symbolizes a kind of necessity – the urge to capture, to grasp an elusive identity, to represent it in order to keep it alive.
Inspired by the works of Cindy Sherman, Francesca Woodman, and the portraits of Amedeo Modigliani, among others, “Portrait” traces a path between appearance and disappearance.
Like a museum of selfies, the piece plays with the sensation of time searching for an altered state between immediacy and eternity, beauty and horror. Four figures play with their image – as if facing both the audience and a mirror. From virtual bodies to glass-like bodies, sound and movement morph and distort, revealing fractured identities.
“Portrait” is a quartet where a self-portrait is a pose / a pause, a fraction within movement. The black box recalls the camera obscura in which a series of strange and disturbing portraits are revealed.
We co-founded La Pieuvre in April 2018, sharing desires, aesthetics and an artistic philosophy that led us to build projects together. Named for its sprawling, proteiform, strange, alien, it echoes our shared multiple identity. Our duo rests on friendship and artistic trust. With Mathieu Bonnafous, Jules Bourret or Coline Ploquin, we explore hybrid languages between dance, music, performance, photography and video – producing content that is sensitive, independent and at the margin of dominant representation.
