Élégante chair

Bodies seem frozen, rooted in the earth like abstract monuments. Inspired by the glass sculptures of artist Ito Laïla Le François, Élégante chair draws its gestures from the same sculptural forms. In this room, flesh and glass meet and unite to discover their hidden language, their physicalities resonating with one another like entangled entities. The body turns into an improbable half-human half-landscape territory, developing a new way of moving, to become this elegant flesh.


In my practice, I seek to re-nature the human body either through costume, prop, video, sculpture or through movement itself. These processes give birth to forms often devoid of human character. I like to talk about body territories here. Because I find in these explorations new landscapes or even hybrid beings
