“At a time when only the stars existed, before the dawn of the Sun and the Moon, lived alone a very, very, very strange creature…”
Belgian artist RAFAEL is in production residency at VIDEOFORMES from August 23 to September 5, 2021 at the Chapelle de l’Oratoire. His new project UNTITLED#3 is a hybrid object between art film, audio-visual performance, video installation, dance and music. He works with the dancer Lila ABDEL-KADER who lives between London and Clermont-Ferrand.
This VIDEOBAR, which is a stage of creation, aims to create a video material. Indeed, the performance in the presence of the public will be filmed. This sequence will then be integrated into the final project and will constitute a sort of mise en abîme that will stretch to a form of elevation.
This VIDEOBAR is part of the “Altitude 2028” program, organized as part of Clermont-Ferrand’s and the Massif Central’s bid to become European Capital of Culture in 2028. Find all the programming on the website: clermontferrandmassifcentral2028.eu
“In our opinion, Rafael is one of the European stars of narrative performance, always spiritual, stimulating and sensitive. His work is unlike any other. What more can we say except to assure you to see his work”.
