Fragments reverses the usual relationship of dance to the camera. During the shooting, the frame was physically materialized to allow the dancers to precisely position their bodies within the space determined by the camera. The framing is not intended to capture details in the overall movement of the dancers. Instead, the movements shape the space defined by the camera. The choreography continuously recomposes this space with fragmented bodies. This fragmentation aims to make sensitive the elusive nature of our experience of the body. By exploring the margins of our bodily perception, Noé Soulier underlines its polyphonic character which escapes any univocal representation.
