Tactile is an experimentation of the body in front of the camera in front of the body, for which it is about experiencing the mysterious relationship that links touch to feeling, and then, to expression. It seemed essential to me to reflect on dance; an art form where the search for sensations constitutes the formation of the gesture and its manifestation. The dancer in the photos is a friend and has followed a list of actions, a sort of score intended to orient him to the intention, rhythm and intensity sought.
Behind the camera, I analyze the dancer's gestures. I try a fusion between the memory of sensations, in bodies (mine and hers), and the gaze of sensations, in the image. The senses dancing. I approach chimeras. Where the body is less matter than perception.
