VISE 8, exposition collective
Leaf/to leave, december 2021
A day in silence
Proposal
On December 4,
At dawn,
When birds will sing for the sunrise,
I
will go and enter in silence at 8, avenue de Visé in Boisfort.
In a
house emptied of its old inhabitants,
In the solitude of a
room,
I’ll read Eloge of silence without a
voice.
I'll count the number of words "silence",
"silences", "silently" ...
I'll
extract them from the book.
Until this one empties itself of
his/its silence/s.
Until this/these silence/s take shape
differently in space.
It will be the end.
End of a day in silence.
This action is part of Pssst- a worldwide performance festival for silence and be silent, conceptualized and curated by Stefan US

Visual traces
Into Your Life Strasbourg
Ce 11 juillet, sur le pont qui relie Strasbourg en France et Kehl en Allemagne, il s'est agi d'écrire.
Le temps d'un instant avec une feuille d'arbre.
Le temps d'un instant pour traduire les sensations en mots, en phrases, en questions.
Le temps d'un instant pour jouer à 3 lignes avec une règle des syllabes: 5,7,5...
Le temps d'un instant pour être là, écrire, laisser les feuilles se poser ou suivre le cours du pont.
Le temps d'un instant pour rencontrer l'autre.
Le temps d'un instant au milieu des passants sur le Pont de l'Europe...
Into Your Life Strasbourg a été réalisé dans le cadre d' INACT Festival des Arts Mutants 2021
