The Body Will Thrive

 

The Body Will Thrive takes its title and its inspiration from Lore Stessel's photo book The Body Will Thrive.

A fascinating exchange between the photographer and the dancer/choreographer Jason Respilieux has developed in recent years. Think of it as a wave motion that continues.

 

Come immerse yourself.

Lore draws inspiration for her work from the movement of the dancers and their singularity. These expressions crystallized in a series of images, here reciprocates a receptive direction to the movement. Through this we cast a new eye on Lore's work. Between photographer and choreographer, approach here the interplay of their observations and let yourself be guided by this sensitive exploration of what makes up matter.  

​

Due to its malleable format, The Body Will Thrive wishes to reinvent itself according to the specifics of venues, events and their environment.

The Body Will Thrive also exist as a tryptich video installation combining an interview from Lore stessel's work, the dance film by Jason Respilieux and a video clip from the Third Guy's Ghost Track.​
