TOUR DE FLAGEY | 2010
On 2 / 3 / 4 July the
WORKSHOP & PHOTOSHOOT
at PLACE FLAGEY BRUSSELS took place :
TOUR DE FLAGEY is a 10 minutes choreography for ca. 40 people, put in loop, which can be watched from 6 apartments surrounding Place Flagey : on the 24th of october 2010 the public (whoever is in possession of a card by then) is invited to come to place Flagey and see the synchronized and looped TOUR DE FLAGEY during 5 hours. It will be a real marathon! The idea is that there is a trance-like reality next to the normal 'un-informed' live at the place.
TOUR DE FLAGEY is part of POSTCARDS FROM THE FUTURE, a photographic performance project for Brussels by (Christophe Meierhans, Christoph Ragg and Heike Langsdorf)
www.postcardsfromthefuture.be !
With POSTCARDS FROM THE FUTURE a series of postcards is produced, each made from photographs shot in the city. The postcards are printed in sufficient amounts in order to be able to be freely distributed within various populations and publics of the city.
Each postcard in the series is linked to a singular performance that will take place in a public space, at the very same location where the picture on the postcard was shot. Date and time of the performance, as well as its exact address are printed on the postcard.
C&H has realised this project in smaller cities before (Geneva / Point d'impact - Leuven / STUK & M Museum - Metz / Centre Pompidou). The series for Brussels is considered to be a series of auto-portraits of Brussels, developed together with people living in different parts of the city.
TOUR DE FLAGEY is a performance-proposal by radical_hope for Postcards From The Future by C&H : Researching the principle of changeability, radical_hope invents instruments for Social Change in times without lead. The question is how a context can be touched from an artistic point of view without deminishing its natural complexity.
