CRIMES WITHOUT VICTIMS
choreographic installation
Wooden robots, halogen lamps, sodium lamps, LEDs, neon lights, galvanic sensors, CO₂ sensors, thermometers, algae-based lubricant.
Crimes sans victimes explores the contours of morality and censorship through dance and its inherent mechanism between presence and representation. It addresses dichotomies such as erotic/pornographic, good taste/bad taste, protection/freedom.
Questions surrounding the representation of human sexuality become vectors for a mise en abyme of a society immersed in a highly sexualised and tightly codified media culture, which seems to push towards a standardisation of singular expressions of eroticism. Crimes sans victimes seeks to slip into these spaces from which unconscious perception emerges, and to detect zones of sensory freedom.
