With Amira Brachia, Margaux Daubin, Mathilde Fernandez, Sharon Jones and Simon Nicolas.

"didn't know that collaboration via the internet can be so fragile"

Dispositif : Six persons perform, each with a portable webcam station a performance protocol. The images and sounds of their webcams are brought together in one video projection. From their isolated positions, scattered in space, they share a space of expression and responsibility, a playground, a laboratory.

The existence of the performer in two separate spaces (the physical and the image space) put him/her in a double bind situation, which will let appear the noise gesture, the sound of loneliness and leads us to an aesthetic of attention.

Huis Clos / No Exit - Training for a Better World is part of the Huis Clos / No Exit artistic research project by Annie Abrahams

Shifts, interruptions, cuts, flux variations, temporary vacuums and coding errors in and between the images, are the aesthetic materials of the performance that will translate our vulnerability in our attempts to communicate in a cyberized environment.
