Emmanuelle WAECKERLE Pause Performance vidéo - dv - 0:14:20 - Royaume Uni - 2000 Performance - 0:50:00 - Royaume Uni - 2001 La perfomance est à propos du temps qui passe et du passage du temps. La perfomer est sur une scène, elle énonce son histoire en comptant chaque seconde entre les mots, pendant qu'elle arrache les pages d'un bloc-notes qui est attaché à son visage. Cette action simultanée représente une tâche impossible en elle-même, et requiert une grande concentration. Le timing et la synchronicité ne peuvent que se détraquer. Elle doit accepter le caractère inévitable de la perte de contrôle et essayer, encore et encore, de retrouver le contrôle sur elle-même et sur son histoire. The performance is about Time passing and passing Time. The performer, on stage, is voicing her story counting each second between words while tearing up the pages of the pad attached to her face. This simultaneous action represents an impossible task in itself and requires great concentration. Timing and synchronicity can only go wrong. She has to accept the inevitability of losing control and attempts time and time again to regain control of herself and her story. Biographie 1962 Born in Rabat, Morocco.
