Noé Soulier - Les vagues
Description
Les Vagues/The Waves by Noé Soulier explores the many ways in which gestures can suggest a cascade of bodily experiences, expanding the research practised in earlier works on movement, meanings, memories and evocative references. Each movement has the communicative power to refer to a vast array of symbols, patterns, suggestions, explanations and comments.
Noé Soulier
“The experience of our bodily actions, whether in the present moment or in our memory of them, is always fragmentary.
It is this fragmentary dimension of the bodily experience that I try to convey through movement. I rely for this on practical goals that we all know, such as avoiding, hitting, throwing or catching. These goals are diverted from their initial function. By removing what makes these everyday actions familiar, I try to reveal the strangeness and elusiveness of the experience of our own body”.
