Childhood

Accouchement (Delivery) is an autobiographical reflection on clothes as holders of memory; establishing a relation between my own body and the presence of others. By establishing a dialectic between the body and its envelop, between movement and stillness, the inside and the outside, I appropriate the garment as a way of identital expression.  For this installation I solicited the collaboration of Cédric Bregnard to photography my works in their context and of  the dancer Anne Marchand for the creation of the choreography  Birth (11 min), filmed by Cedric Bergnard, which is a work on the body and its mutations.
