ANIMA
(2014)
This series devoted
to children and animals shows the inherent vivacity of childhood, a fulgurous
carnal bursting with energy, but also unprecedented moments of grace in
which the body of the child and that of an animal seem to blend together
and face life similarly. It is the invention of a new hybrid and magical
being: the child and animal. The little dancers, barefoot, rush forward
and improvise their own space in a reinvented world. A tendency to abstraction,
by inscribing these bodies, and their unbridled gestures on backgrounds
with acid colours.
A residency produced by the town of Aulnay sous Bois with the support
of the General Council of Seine St Denis.
