t4/ ANIMA/ Noémie Goudal and Maëlle Poésy (FRA)

A performance-installation conceived and devised by Noémie Goudal and Maëlle Poésy based on the work Post Atlantica by Noémie Goudal

ANIMA/ Noémie Goudal and Maëlle Poésy (FRA)

 

ANIMA is the meeting of plastic artist Noémie Goudal and director Maëlle Poésy around an immersive object, with the aim to touch the audience as deeply as possible. Inspired by research in paleoclimatology and studies about our perceptions in closed environments, the two artists question our sensations and our need for spatial and temporal markers. What’s the nature of the dizziness we feel if the horizon, or even the asperity of the ground, is taken away? How unsettled do we become when we can no longer tell day from night? Accompanied by Chloé Thévenin’s musical creation, the video installation in which we are immerged speaks to us of our landscapes and of the invisible metamorphoses of our habitats. Within this suspended installation, performing artist Chloé Moglia moves through the geography of ANIMA, so that we can experience the physical and plastic sensation of time. “What is the present if not an acute moment of feeling? It’s important to us to talk about the convergence of time, with a past that feeds the present which itself is part of the future.
