MRI - sound invading, paralysis portrait

I found my first MRI scan a intense and deeply inspiring experience - while constricted inside a too narrow place and feeling totally vulnerable to the aggression of inflicted noise. Forced to introspection and to wonder about the fragility of the human role in its how life - fate, individuality, void of choice and what comes from the outside to inside of our life whiteout our control.

. portrait triology: quiet disarmony - paralysis portrait
MRI scan images + reflective holocid paper, wood, textured paper and photography.

. listen - only - one - allowed - is (?)

Live modeling and performance-exploring silent movement

Text from "A Lovers Discourse Fragments by Roland Barthes)

Live modeling has deeply inspired and directed me into the engaging language of silent movement.
In this space, I find focus, I choose pause and I take the body as a new, unexplored landscape into a microscopic lens, where I find macro in micro - and a new discovered beauty of silent movement: the muscle shacking, the vein beating, the tissue stretching, the skin breathing.

Here some photos of an old shoot, where pause was chosen and a slow discovery of the body, silence and classic movement.

Quality of movement - Butoh and flamenco - impro.

Between rehearsal, a little impro. exploring the merging of arm, hands and fingers movement between flamenco and butoh.

The lines felt very expressive, natural and strong and I wonder if it possible to acquire a certain type of quality of movement naturally, by your place of birth and culture. Maybe it is.

Short stories - London Fields on a Bistrotheque Bed + some Humous

Fenner on a London Field Bed

a rare appearance

black, flour and ink

experimental life drawing (?) experiment what (?)

leaving

(a) shy self portrait among others ( can anyone recognize the hair fringe (?) (!))

Ultima, butoh solo impro. - the remains (as the tape got stolen)

Ultima - butoh solo impro. ( participation on the piece Forces of Life/the Sneeze)

A bit of bad news, the tape of the rest of the performance got stolen from my friend, during the process of editing...

... oh well, s* happens, and thats OK too.

The good news are that I have discovered this character, and I will probably visit it again for more work

This is film - Toulouse favorite

Toulouse BW - last day stories

This are my two BW roles from Toulouse - a little ironic because Toulouse is known as the PINK city, but my eye chose BW to record it permanently in my mind. And what Angela decides, Angela pursues - so here it is: for me TOULOUSE will be the BW city.

It is simply amazing the way your eyes unconsciously take us to certain objects,
how our steps direct us in certain directions,
how our minds give particular meaning to certain objects: as if they were empty containers waiting for us to reach them and fill them with our significances.

This is when photography becomes interesting, as I see it
when it becomes human, personal, secretiveness and symbolic for certain states of mind.

And how synchronized the eye is with fate and the mind - the balance of trinity - it finds the right object at the right time to express what the artist wants to say.

It is truly amazing how our choices when photographing reveal us inside out - even without us being aware of that.

On a last note I dedicate this story to FEAR and hopefully to show that while we lock ourselves away in FEAR - expecting the worse - meanwhile life is happening outside and so are beautiful/exciting things.

FEAR, to you I want to say: look at the wonderful things I saw while your were fearing.

Here is the personal story of the last day.
