signes de vies (2003)

Resistance
Is a resistant body stiffened? Tense? Compact?
Is a resistant mind closed or open?
Is resisting a means of going forward?
Is a resistant body a body simply present?
A body stretching itself, gently infiltrating like roots sinking into the earth to find the essential oils and the nutritive substances that will allow it to develop?
A body incredibly soft and rounded or a body on the watch, ready to jump?
To leap into the unknown – to push the boundaries.
A daring body that will simply and openly take a stand
