VIEW THE DRAWINGS OF THE TRACES OF THE PERFORMANCES.
"Mouvances was inspired from a series of copies that
La Terreur drew in the summer of 2002, after the work of Leonardo
da Vinci. She wanted to push the idea of copying from the great
masters a little farther than simply reproducing a two-dimensional
image.
Céline B. La Terreur will invite her friends and family to
re-enact and relive four renowned master paintings during four consecutive
Saturdays. The public is invited to participate in these events.
The re-enactments will bring about new situations, anachronisms
and filmed improvisations that will leave its trace within the gallery.
These traces (i.e., costumes on the floor, leftover fancy food or
objects that could be used in another way in the space) will be
drawn by the artist during the rest of the week.
While Céline B. La Terreur draws the traces after the performances,
the gallery will be open to the public according to a variable schedule,
which will be determined by the artist. The performances will also
be documented and recorded on video, and anybody who wishes to view
them will be able to."
