Red Dot Dance

"On that summer night of 2011, I was dancing for the first time under the influence of psychedelic substances and rhythms. 175 BPM of animal nature — that repressed part of our post-modern identities made of reason, appearance and control had found a place to express itself. There, we were unleashing together through trance, healing through vibration. We were also alone. Alone facing the night, our past traumas, our contradictions, our finitude, our wanderings. In 2021, ten years after having experienced for the first time these altered states of consciousness, I began a therapeutical work of remembrance carried out in the moment of ecstasy: Red Dot Dance, an intimate testimony of how people’s basic instinct of trance survived in the post-modern era. Red Dot Dance results from these four seasons of electronic rituals, from these moments of clairvoyance, from these elusive visions of a consciousness in movement. Photography here attempts to convey to the viewer the reflections of a spiritual transformation through the action of bodies in motion. It transcribes the moment when the mind forgets itself. A continuous flux of energy, A moment of psychic floating. A healing. A transcendence. A collective narration. Work In (ever) Progress."
