MEDIATHEK

"Learning presupposes a model or at least a referent. This condition imposes a framework of control, compliance and efficiency. It is then a question of the subject finding his or her marks, sometimes by standing on the margins, sometimes by playing with his or her discrepancies in the face of constraints. It is these frameworks that "Dispositifs 3.1" seeks to disturb, or to make murky. From the first sequence, we are dealing with four figures, four figures of the same, standardized by the costume and the wig. The paradox of this uniformity is that it makes the singular spaces of these bodies more sensitive. Their journey crosses fundamental learning (movement, language, food). The modalities of incorporation of gestures and language are linked, in a word, to discipline, but they can also be diverted, interpreted or played. It is this game that is explored here, less to verify that the lesson is well known, than to account for the multiple inventions that our singularities force us to find. (Alain Buffard)

"Good, good, you can do it". It's so easy to walk; Is it so simple to be - to become? - a girl / a woman / a body; his own body; A man. Not so simple, however; not so straight, the path. A man explores it, in three women crossed by him. They will be four; He is one of them. Long hair for faces; shifting disidentity. From the outset, the masks that come to obstruct the sinuous memory of ordinary bodies, which have become - docilely? This body or that body; Here are only, in front of us, a few paths, the multiplication, in layers in singular folds, of forgotten learning, lying invisible, at the bottom of the most elementary gestures. (Sabine Prokhoris, September 2000)
