Mathilde Fourgeot : Week 6
Nick Cave
is a complete artist. His work is a staggering mix between dance, sculpture and
fashion. He’s asking himself: how can I bring this two disciplines together?
This artist is renowned for one of his most famous work « Soundsuits ».
These soundsuits are created with all kinds of material: buttons, twigs,
plastic tabs, toys, hairs… The inspiration of Nick Cave comes from these
objects.
Some of
these soundsuits are just sculptures, which are exhibited all around the world in
museums or galleries (at the moment we can say some of his works in Phantasia
in Lille) and some others suits are wearable and are presented in motion, fully
alive. They are worn by dancers (professional or not). The performance
consists of the alchemy between the human and the soundsuit. The dancer prompts
sounds thanks to his movements, to his dance. The soundsuit lives and become
someone, or something… We don’t know. With his work Nick Cave wants to make
people think. His works is magical in a way. His creatures are alive, they
move, they dance, they meet them. He imagines stories or absurd situations. Whatever.
The viewer is perplex and tries to understand: what is that exactly? (200)
