The Breathing Archive 1
Auteurs: Anouk Llaurens
"The breathing Archive" invites players to edit collectively an ephemeral document that is contingent to the present conditions. The core action of the practice is to crumple and un-crumple printed A4 pages. This simple action done with care wishes to send us back to the basic life's movement, like the movement of cells breathing and heart beating. Before crumpling and un-crumpling the pages, players are invited to pay attention to their own breath as a continuous support for their action. Breathing as a ground induces an attentive and open presence that favors the emergence of a poetic experience made of sensations of paper, flesh, sounds, words, images, table, colors, smells, emotions and thoughts. Playing "The Breathing Archive", one might live a suspended time that is no longer about past nor future, a time to live the ordinary as extraordinary, a time to celebrate being, instead of having, with others. THE BREATHING ARCHIVE , Contredanse Documentation Center, Brussels, March 2018. This session puts at play a selection of texts from Sarma's anthology about Lisa Nelson (Conversation in Vermont: Lisa Nelson), dialogue about my own research and and movement scores that engage hand-eye coordination.
