title
the silent nature
I was drawn to the silence of things. A silence that comes from a dead body, that allows us to have a breath, that is waiting for a few things and that expresses itself with a gesture, a form, or an expression.
These bodies seem motionless, yet they tremble, like all living models, waiting for the moment of rest, to relieve themselves.
I am in a way a director, who manipulates these bodies and their postures. Looking for lightness and balance, I try to retransmit to the audience.
