/entre/: the Performance of Uncertainty
Florence Pierre, Anna Chirescu, Gordon Spooner
Artiste, chorégraphe, vidéaste
Dance and video art complement and mutually reinforce each other in this work, which manifests strength in a struggle that is pursued despite seemingly obvious burdens, getting its power precisely by questioning their force.
Still from /entre/

It’s the meeting between a dancer/choreo­grapher and two image creators.

It’s the meeting in a stranger playground.

It’s the meeting of a free, organic body and matter. A woman who constructs and deconstructs herself in relation to a slick and cliched image of femininity.

The story of /entre/ has been conceived with the vocabulary of Anna, written by her on the lines of the frame or in the margins. The camera was one of the characters.

/entre/ evokes two mental states, A and H, or the imbalance that leads to freedom.

Fear paralyzes, hope creates movement. In this video, we give form to this gap and give it meaning—continue to dream to live, to create the invisible.

Living, imagining, creating, surprising in order to demolish the systems that paralyze.

Giving freedom to the imagination to forget the instability that everyone experiences and is subject to. In the meantime, between oneself, between steps, one questions oneself, one moves forward with what one controls and what one does not control. Letting go. To continue, in spite of everything.

Florence Pierre is a graduate from the ESAG Penninghen graphic design school, active in different creative fields. She works as a graphic designer and artistic director in advertising. Painting and video are also part of her artistic research and practice.
