It all begins with a color that remained silent for a long time: Blue.<\/span>
\n<\/span>There was no value or symbol associated with it. It only entered the social arena in the 12th century.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Within a rectangular space, itself surrounded by an unfathomable black, Bleu<\/em> presents a variation in which the female body moves within the folds of this color as the foundation of its emergence.<\/span>
\n<\/span>In this cramped, tri-frontal space, offering a close-up reading, Magali Milian and Anna Vanneau subject their presence to the transformation of the gaze cast on the covered, adorned, harnessed, decorated and undressed body.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Through this monolith-like device, whose presence remains to be elucidated, they open up the furrow of an imaginary world that covets fiction, and where ancient figures and their digressions rub shoulders: reminiscence of a form cluttered with history and pomp, warlike impressions, constrained bodies or those stripped of their overalls, the light silhouettes of bathers<\/span>…<\/span>
\n<\/span>Movement, as a condition of appearance, expands and asserts its fulgurance, its massiveness. With it, the perception of the space around them expands and changes nature.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>First there is nothing, then there is a deep nothing, then there is a blue depth.
\n<\/span><\/i>Gaston Bachelard<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>Considering blue as the completed form of White, the final stage before Black, suspended time that contemplates the ephemeral until dissolution<\/span>. Every speck of blue, even the tiniest, carries with it its share of eternity.<\/span>
\nThe contemplation of blue awakens the lines of force of the body born of emptiness, whose presence manifests itself as a perpetual actualization of being, oscillating between the massive appearance of flesh and the vaporous existence of the figures it embodies<\/span>. Blue functions as a resonance chamber…<\/span>The chosen device lends form to the auratic dimension that envelops the bodies. Its monolithic form is forgotten behind its transparency, and<\/span>it can appear anywhere, just as a puddle nests in the hollow of a crack left in stone, earth or asphalt, and, like Blue, deploys fleeting evocations to question the gaze without ever satisfying it.<\/span>
\nBlue, as a vibratory moment, opens the door to the irreconcilable tension between the thickness of matter and the nebulousness of form, decrystallizing the images that might otherwise have been fixed on our retinas, in favor of the enigmatic moment of gushing alone. For beneath the depths of the blue magma lie all the possibilities of a dream body.<\/span><\/p>\n
