A Journey Through the Art of Gisèle Vienne

Bolzano Danza presents a special encounter with Gisèle Vienne on the occasion of the French-Austrian choreographer and director’s presence at the Festival. The event will feature the presentation of the art book This causes consciousness for fracture, which retraces the artist’s work through the lens of photographer Estelle Hanania. The book is the result of a genuine, ongoing collaboration between the two artists: “Gisèle and I,” explains the author, “had the idea of creating a book that would be almost like a theatre piece in itself. A book with its own narrative and form, unfolding like a new four-handed creation, using photographs as material, which we would shape together to create a new space.” The concept is to start from different performative acts to generate something new, through a process of composing and manipulating drawings and printed paper, offering a visual experience that is both different and more immersive.
