 La femme qui fume la pipe
Performance de Julia Boix-Vives


Performance spécialement conçue pour l'exposition au Kunstmuseum de Bochum:
Anselme Boix-Vives: la peinture pour la paix.


Une femme habillée d’une cape, couverte d’un capuchon avance lentement. Elle fume la pipe.

Elle tient à la hauteur de son ventre un grand soufflet qu’elle actionne avec régularité.
Le son du souffle est comme une respiration.
Elle se dirige vers une sculpture imposante, une sorte de réceptacle, on comprend qu'une cérémonie va avoir lieu…

La scène filmée d’en haut est projetée en vidéo sur un écran comme la retranscription d’un rêve.

Elle tourne, danse lentement autour de l’autel-bucher.
À l’aide de branches de sauge sèche, elle allume le fourneau.
Des petits oiseaux, des écureuils, un faisan, quelques personnages apparaissent.
Des volutes de fumée s’échappent, la communication avec le grand esprit va pouvoir commencer.

The ladder´s dance or missing Miranda

The ladder´s dance or missing Miranda
Exhibition in Uppsala Konstmuseum
24 August – 15 September, 2019


Julia Boix-Vives (b. 1970) embarked on her career as a sculptor when she began studying in Grenoble and at the Düsseldorf Academy of Art. Through videos, performance and dance, the sculptures have over time become buoyant and less constrained, balanced between reverie and consciousness. In this installation we step into the artist’s symbolic world of ladders, nets and bodies. The emptiness after Miranda, a gigantic doll that has accompanied the artist in numerous projects and which has evolved into something of an alter ego, is just one of the trajectories. Reflections, reflexes and breathing – the gentle movement of the lungs – is another. Born in the French region of Savoy, Julia Boix-Vives now lives in Eindhoven in the Netherlands. The exhibition will take place in conjunction with the large-format presentation of the artist’s paternal grandfather, Anselme Boix-Vives.
