Installation X

This installation "X" is built as a listening space of words heared between 2000 and 2001 from persons which have been asked about their corporal image.

The first meeting is with six persons of the audience of a theater in France. Then I questioned six dancers of the Junior ballet of the national conservatory because their body is their principal instrument of investigation and communication.
After these meeting, I was curious to approach others visions of body, visions changed because of illness. I turned myself towards anorexia, often present in my way of dancer.

In a workshop with the CHU of Dijon with young women anorexic, I use dance and photography in order to approach the question of the image of the body.

Then I propose dancer’s words which will be confronted with the audience’s words.

"X" is a visual and sound installation which propose a good place for body listening of these words.
