UNCONSUMED AND MOVED
This is a project of visual research inspired by «leftovers, and waste of fast food. I wanted to use a public cultural reference, an empty and already consumed object not available to sell anymore. To this scenario, I engage the body, my body that will loses his identity and becomes a rejected article.

THE MELODY OF SPEECH
Film and Performance project directed by Benjamin Loyauté, 2022.
Defined by the poetry of the ordinary, the work of Benjamin Loyauté depends on the activation of his works, the mutual coupling of sculpture and performance in order to exist. Here, the performance potential is marked by the physical presence of a sculptural circular base, which itself can only be read as such through the implicit presence of the objects that complete it or of an interpreter performer who could stand on it. Rather than thinking of sculpture and performance as diametrically opposed, Loyauté imagines them as “actants” that come together to form a living and dynamic whole that invites experience and engagement. The Melody of Speech relocates our atention and imagines a dubplate, a psalm that is both frank and poetic sometimes delivered at light speed, oen mixed with punk surrealism and invisible street music, chiseled like his sculptures of meditations composed of signs, traces of birds or sacred germinations.

ALL THOSE PEOPLE WATCHING
This rope position represents a building or a space that can be habitable. This space offers tree surfaces and in each of them the options of transition, depends of the ground. With this rope installation and highway sound effects, I wanted to recreate a house under, a sort of shelter that is common to find in big cities. For recreating this space I also got interested in hostile architecture, but this part still in work in progress.

Transitional Viewer
In this installation, the artist shows concret positions that represent how public space can be cold and rude for show a non present body in a social environment.
Her body is part of the installation and moves around her neighborhood until the arrival to school. Through her physical reaction she invites to question no present presences.

U – KUKO
U - KUKO is a character stated in stories and dances of the Peruvian Andean region. This character is mostly found in traditional festivities where he accompanies the crowd and teases the spectators. In the Andean Cosmovision this character has also the sacred role of maintaining the discipline and order in religius Peregrinations.
However, this Ukuko is out of context and his reactions will not be taken as they are in his homeland. Who is the traditional character outside of his "context"?
This intervention was first performed in 2 train stations in Bruxelles. Second time with an aerial rope in Recyclart(Bruxelles). The following video is a caption of the performance in Circusbende Festival, Amsterdam 2022.
Duration: Rope performance 5-10 min. Watch Here: https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/940985880
Tightline for Rectangle
Placing a tightrope is dividing the space. I like to work with the concept of body in exposition and the fonction of the circus object into the space.
In this act the rope represents the middle, the line that divides right from left side. I wanted to make a rectangle with the public for making them and me have an interactive exposition where they’re also part of.
The act starts as well with a long indian file where I bring the public to the « representation space » and I make them build the border. Afterwards, I describe my travelings inside the rectangle for create a verbal trace until I arrive to the tightrope. Here, I change the focus is in my body finding the balance while I walk and change positions in the rope.
