GUERRE

A struggle that seems to be of particular relevance today. A metaphorical title, poetry of the line and of colour, that highlights the challenge that each of the parties represents. A kind of symbolic correspondence that flirts with our world, with our history, our human condition. The relevance of Klein’s words, of his way of looking at the world, through art, suggests here the idea of emptiness, of origin, of beginning, of the blueprint.
A precursor in this test, Yves Klein conceptualizes the staging as a whole. He summarizes and embodies the performer he plays, highlighting the notion of representation.

Staying with this idea, he causes the image in its epoch to appear for the first time, the film in the living spectacle. The result is a skeleton of staging. An artistic form as much as a tool, today this approach is frequent in spectacles, installations and contemporary dance performances.
Modernity of concept, timelessness of the subject, universality of the intention.
War opens up perspectives of matter, a struggle both real and poetic that blends lines and directions, inscribing the trace, the hue, in the flesh of the dancing body but also in a seductive paradox between line and colour. Yves Klein offers, thanks to the projected image, the disseminated film, a volume, an architecture of space, a scenography where the real and the virtual will dispute a living territory.
