Performance

Être Lunaire

 

Lunar Being is an excerpt of documentation of a performance that took place at Mont-Royal and Verdun Beach. The translation of the live performance to video art permits alterations and additional storytelling tools as discussed by Nicolas Bourriauld’s text The Use of Form where he compares Deejaying and Contemporary Art in which both these mediums use fragments to collage into a finished piece. This collage of visual and audio elements permits and pushes the dream-like narrative of the video performance and reconstructs a narrative that merges the two parts of the performance. Thus weaving a story, collaging all its elements into a cohesive ensemble

Lunar Being is a video performance centred around water, its fluid movement, its relationship with celestial bodies: the moon, and how it affects us. This performance is intimate and invisible work not meant to have participating witnesses but passing ones. The mask/basket is made of watercolour paper coated with a cyanotype solution and weaved as a mask/basket. It is activated during the first part of the performance and developed in the second part. Using the mask/basket brings the entity to life, summoning them into this world.
