LIGNE DE FRONT : SERGE TEYSSOT-GAY & PAUL BLOAS [FR]
Harmonic and polychrome vibrations
The guitarist Serge Teyssot-Gay – co-founder of Noir Désir (the most famous French band ever) – and the Breton painter Paul Bloas – street artist – cross swords during a performance subduing a vast audience. Same age, same shaved head and especially same integrity. In one hour, accompanied by Serge Teyssot-Gay’s improvised riffs, Paul Bloas paints two polychrome four-meter-high silhouettes. 60min performance.

MIRA: THE GESTOGRAPH & EPHEMERALS INSTALLATIONS [BE]
Body calligraphy, cinema and other photographic recycled wastes
Born in Paris in 1971, Fred Chemama aka Mira lives and works in Brussels, at the Mommen workshops. Inspired by corporal action, he proves keen to mix ancient photographic techniques, early filming styles and new media potential.
1. The Gestograph. Through numerous experimentations, he has developed a digital gestograph – an interactive real-time video installation inspired by JE Marey’s chronophotography. Interacting with the installation, the audience feeds it with live gestures and body movements associated with words, which are captured by a video camera.
2. 2. Ephemeral installations. Also as part of the X NIGHTS festival, in parallel with the gestograph and cyclo-kino, the artist will propose ephemeral, degradable, multi-coloured installations of souvenir photos waste.
