A floating body, a painted body, the body as droplet and multiple bodies, the body is both the raw material and the stuff of dreams for the recalcitrant artist Stéphane Gladyszewski.
A combination of visual art and performance, In Side & Aura are “experiential” and sensual works that establish a taut and vibrant dialogue between the body, matter and light. Consisting of hybrid objects that combine video projection with performance, an acoustic environment and an architecture of light within an animated stage design installation, the first two parts of this trilogy present new strategies of video imagery, turning the dancer into a body-as-screen and blurring the boundaries between the real presence and the projected image.
At the diaphanous frontier between the perceptible and the imperceptible, between a living presence and its virtual double, at the incessantly bulldozed boundaries of perception lies a new language of the senses. Welcome to the fourth dimension.
