 Démarche

Très engagé physiquement dans ses actions, il cherche une dynamique dans l’interaction. Il a besoin d’inventer des structures qui permettent à d’autres personnes de performer et de contribuer à sa quête de Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité.

My point of view is constantly changing. I had declared I do my performance art because I’m looking for simply symmetrical composition which gives you a feeling of a trance and make you stop for contemplation. I was glad to find the way to repeat simply actions a thousands times to neutralize dynamic of a singular movement and change it into monotone repetition, and suddenly unknowing why I could not resist of doing actions which are based on interaction which are very dynamic. I think I’m interesting in inventing structures that make other people perform. I really love to see people do things that I’m, as a performance artist, supposed to do. I have a need to engage other people and I use their pure energy, and fresh attitude to make acting stronger and more impressive because of both; repetition and processing of approbation. However I do not want message to be in front of my art, I agree to say that somehow performances as well as the rest of my activity focused on problem of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. I watch and contemplate visually symptoms of implementation or corruption of those fundamental assumption of our civilization and further I infect my art with elements that disturbs me the most.
