AMOR AOMORI
Would you take me on a walk to your favorite place?”
Béatrice DIDIER began her residency in Aomori by posing this question to local residents.“Could you write down a few words on this leaf? I’ll write my own message on another leaf. Then we’ll exchange them.”
This suggestion to the four participants who collaborated on Didier’s project allowed the five of them to share with each other the things they noticed and felt during their walks together around Aomori.
The leaves exchanged between Didier and the four participants are displayed in pairs, with each pair corresponding to one of the four drawings of their respective walking routes, traced on the gallery floor. In the space opposite, across from short poems that Didier composed daily during her residency, video recordings are displayed along with the typewriter she used. Throughout her 15-plus-year career as a performance artist, the Brussels-based Didier has consistently utilized her own body and its experiences as important materials in her artistic creations. The pieces shown here can be thought of as the traces of her experience in Aomori, an experience that revisited the everyday act of “walking.” Each of these traces is organically connected, and together form an image which serves as a more tactile record through which we can vicariously experience the thoughts that passed through Didier’s walking body.

In silence, Oulu
On 1th and 2th november 2024,
One by one, in the culturhouse VALVE theatre room, the spectator was invited to face me through a one-way mirror.
In silence.
To observe her/his face.
Then mine.
Then our two faces combined in a single image.
Little by little, the mirror is removed, until we find ouselves face to face.
As our body is the place and time of our human condition (D. Le Breton)
Until the light shone on who became the actress/the actor.
Before it gets dark.
This performance took place in the context of the the festival Kehä / One-to-One
Pacifique, 21/04/2023
On 21th april 2023,
On one of the banks that connects the city of Ishinomaki to the Pacific Ocean
12 years after the tsunami
I walked to the sea...
Bamboo extending the arms
Wind resistant bamboo
Bamboo offering japanese to the sea
Arms and hands offering feathers to the sky
Strenght and peace to you
Pacific Ocean

Fluctuations of the Invisible Mind
What do you see?
Diffused reflections of the sunset
The surface of the river is illuminated
Its boundaries have separated you and me
My heart has been crushed along with yours
Don't reclaim it
Look
I'm not you
You are not me
What do you see? (Maron Shibukowa)
