Thierry Bidet has been choreographing site specific performed photographs and video-dances for ten years. His first performed photographs in a disused railway tunnel was a collaboration with director and architect Pierre Larauza, who is currently touring with Chambre(s) d’Hôtel.
Then he performed the Scan-aura series in public spaces such as the Arche de la Défense and under different types of concrete bridge. In Nantes, he worked on the site of the industrial ruins of Trignac and in the Loire estuary of Nantes-Saint Nazaire for one year. His architect diploma Toward a New Spatiality deliberately avoids references from the architects sphere, but mostly refers to choreographer and scientist Kitsou Dubois and dance photographer Lois Greenfield. In London he was trained in singing and produced a music-video Jour Noir in his studio, also part of his architecture diploma but strangely, by contrast with Toward a New Spatiality that the institution strongly condemned, this work was awarded the mark of 19/20 while using the same principles two years later. He then collaborated as a dancer with Lundahl & Seitl at the early stage of their Voice... tour, and choreographer, doctor of dance and composer Johan Stjernholm on the Ch_ers exhibition opening performance at the OXO Bargehouse, Southbank. In the Eye House Thierry Bidet intends to pursue the choreographic language he developed in his early works, but invigorated with a certain glamour, abstraction and nudity offered by the Eye House space. In the Jour Noir video one sequence integrated some domestic aspects transfigured into a completely different aesthetic, and the work at the Eye House will push that further. An altered sense of gravity will be explored this time not only with the architectural layout but also with slow movements of cameras, for this an articulated robotic arm will be fabricated and hang from the ceiling. | ||||||
