Olivier Delporte
Olivier Delporte’s work can be basically conceptualized thanks to two media wich will finally gather into one through the devices he uses. The first media is video, and the second one is performance, through both of them the body shall become an artistic instrument in a defined area, becoming a portion of a digital space.
He intends to develop corporeal situations and to transform them thanks to video processing, in order to put forward a description, a rambling material being in a direct relationship with our society.
Olivier Delporte refuses to raise a narrative background, the video performance is devised close to a choregraphical form, which restrains action and movement into frames.
