Medea’s Visions is multidisciplinary piece from the myth of Medea / Eve. Under the direction of Alessia Siniscalchi, Italian contemporary artist  Valerio Berruti sets up his painted works, while composer Phil St. George plays live and I develop my photographic process inside the performance. Medea’s Visions archives feature pictures starting from the performance’s creation process in 2018.

The documentation works includes here a multi camera system also capturing videos.

In this third stage of the work, my performance’s photographic archives are embodied in blocks of printed images used on stage by actors. During the performance at la Ménagerie de Verre in Paris, performers exit the given stage and perform in front of my camera. I also set up an installation presenting the first chapter of How do I archive a performance which is not mine? The starting point is a mural painting in the collection of the archaeological museum of Naples, La casa di Giasone.

The process of theatre photography as an endless archive building that plays a key role in a performance is described here. An archives book in pdf is available here. It also serves as my second manifesto on stage photography.

Manuel pour l’écriture d’un manifesto moderne de photographie de scène.
Une nouvelle étape de ma collaboration de long terme avec Alessia Siniscalchi et Kulturscio’k Live Art Collective.
Puisque l’espace de travail d’Alessia Siniscalchi n’a pas de frontière entre les mouvements (corps, textes, sons, structures, matières) et les périmètres qui pourraient être destinés à la représentation, je ne peux qu’entrer dans une zone d’influence dans laquelle je peux librement disposer, accumuler, faire disparaître fragments et archives.
13. Tout peut être disposé. Tout peut disparaître.
14. Comment archiver une performance qui n’est pas la mienne? 

The first one is here.
