SUEUR D’ETOILE
Black Stone, Sweat, Obscurity, 2015-2016.
(with Marie-Agnes Gillot, Dancer at the Opera of Paris)
The sweat of the star ballerina Marie-Agnès Gillot was gathered, after she had
danced Ravel’s Bolero. Laden with the star’s perfect gestures, her fears and joys,
as well as Ravel’s genius, this liquid has been stored in the dark heart of a black
stone sphere, which has been fixed onto the roof, and is visible from the forecourt
of Palais de Tokyo.
