ElenaCopuzeanu-Gif

nn 



Gif
Este punerea in scena a unei co–creatii performative care apare in intalnirea dintre doua artiste cu bacgrounduri in arte vizuale  si coregrafie ( Elena Copuzeanu si Georgiana Dobre ) insa cu afinitati in ceea ce priveste energia si calitatea miscarii, caligrafia dansului, poetica gesturilor, nuantarea intentilor in actiune si gustul pentru anumite ritmuri vizuale si auditive.
                                                              *
Este in primul rand un dialog, o comunicare frusta, deseori telepatica, in care ne aducem impreuna  raspunsul  spontan si autentic al corpului, gandurile, atentia, prezenta scenica. Mai mult decat o propunere  pe temele dialogului, comunicarii, depasirii granitelor si limitelor interioare si asumarea diferentelor(…) este o Experienta ce va fi imbogatita cu noi provocari si  pe care o organizam  mai exact  in trei momente distincte, desfasurate pe parcursul piesei  in contrast si in crescendo, nu doar la nivelul abordarii miscarii  si ambientului ci  si la nivelul progresului dialogului si schimbului informatiei dintre noi.
Insa o trasatura speciala a acestei piese va fi faptul ca secvente din acest proiect coregrafic, le vom transfera in strada, sub forma unor performance-uri de sine statatoare. Vom extrage segmente din performance si le vom aduce in strada in varii locatii, vrand astfel sa largim si sa depasim cadrul demersului nostru artistic cu intentia de a deschide  si a stabili un dialog cu oamenii din afara publicului specific. Oameni pe care de obicei ii consideram ca fiind straini unui demers artistic, care au preocupari si interese considerate diferite, care nu au legatura si contingenta cu o viziune artistica, a caror abordari sunt de alta natura, care vin din medii  diverse si care totusi  pot reactiona surprinzator de viu si entuziast la o propunere de implicare si de asumare. Interventiile noastre in spatiul public vor viza includerea acestor particularitati de abordare, dialogul, feedback-ul si participarea lor activa prin sugestii si interventii in lucrarea noastra. Documentarea acestui demers colateral, o sa contribuie ulterior la “reorganizarea” piesei. Exemple pentru acest tip de interactiuni se pot vedea accesand aceste linkuri:

Nu vrem sa facem din aceasta piesa un proces de creatie “static” solidificat intr-o forma si categorie fixa, ci vrem sa-l transformam intr-un demers care sa aiba un flow interior, sa nu aiba margini rigide ci sa includa schimbarea si provocarea.  Vrem sa chestionam  concepte ca sait specific, periferie – centru, depasire/migrare,  in ideea explorarii unor spatii fizice, mentale si culturale noi. Unul dintre obiectivele noastre fiind sa intelegem cum poate un act artistic sa produca schimbari reale intr-un anumit context si mediu social.

Filmed faces







303 Filmed Faces …




It is a project
about portraits of common peoples around me. About their views, ways of looking
and presence. About our
spontaneous relation, connection, and
communication. There are peoples all around me that I am not able to
contemplate because I am in hurry having so many things to do. I rather
 prefer to
call this project a very personal one, closer to a deep inner need like: to rediscover
my capacity to empathize with the others, or to have a profound eye to eye
contact, if it’s possible.

Seeing, comunicating
and not just watching the others is more important.

After I
asked more than 300 persons to give me their faces, without any choreographic
demanding, I can say that, I regained my own face/portrait. The satisfaction of
rediscover my shapes, my view throw the other view, in this mutual agreement,
in this exchange ( not necessary an equal
one) it was incredible full of pleasure and meaning.

Filmed faces

  'Filmed faces' is a film based on series of shootings common people's faces, in my hometown. During five days, I was out in the city, wherever on the streets, interacted with people, speaking, asking, listening one another; and they been agree or not with my demand and proposal : to film their faces for a few seconds. From a special point of view, from emotional one, this interaction was very exciting and releasing. On the one hand the people who refused me, brought in the project the items of 'personal space', 'prudent behaviour', 'trusting or not trusting', 'confidence', 'unstudied behaviour'. On the other hand, the people who say Yes to me, brought the gladness, the exultation of open faces, of eyes to eyes contact, the expressiveness, and  they heightened the emotional  and communication levels. Another important thing for me, was, that somehow I regained my own  common face. This teaser is part from almost 300  common faces filmed.

elenacopuzeanu/ 'Pastels,mirroring faces,and no prejudice'

This is a part from Fragmentarium, an interdisciplinary project, where  were involved people with very different backgrounds. Everyone of us, decided to bring a new situation, and deal with her/his limits. Here, is  a part of my proposals. We, both worked with improvisation and communication in this frame : faces a mirror, with make-up colors and some items  of 'cosmetic'  tools ( and cosmetic also can mean to improve  or not a situation ) . Touching, dare, watching, surprising, pleasurable, mixing colors, painting, beauty, handsomeness, loneliness, absence in presence, skin,humor, are some words and concepts that we need to release  together.

'what you see is not what you looking at' - IPA performance,Bucharest CIV,2014

What you look is not just what is seen' is a performance installation, which lasts 1 hour. It is an intervention that aims to reconnect an art Gallery space with outside space of that Gallery. With minimum tools: a body, a camera and a monitor, I realize a direct, intimate and powerful intercourse between the subject offered to be contemplated and the very sight of those who contemplate, making a living whole. It's a challenge who's looking who. Is an indirect link between my eyes and the eyes who looking at me. Here, I want to redefine the Act of looking from the perspective of the one who is seen as object and subject of contemplation.
