Cl茅ment Cogitore
Mar 12, 2020 - Apr 05, 2020
Dominik Mersch Gallery will be hosting an exhibition of works by internationally-acclaimed artist and filmmaker Cl茅ment Cogitore. Cogitore developed his artistic practice at the meeting point between Cinema and Contemporary Art. He combines film, video, installations and photographs to question how society coexists with its own images and representations. More often than not, Cogitore鈥檚 works are presented as a question of rituals, collective memory, and representations of the sacred. Recently, Cogitore adapted an extract of Jean Philippe Rameau鈥檚 opera-ballet 鈥楲es Indes Galantes鈥� in collaboration with Krump dancers. The intensely physical and political bodies of these dancers re-shape the tribal dance of Rameau鈥檚 original libretto performed in Paris in 1723, re-staging young people dancing on the verge of a volcano. Dominik Mersch Gallery will be exhibiting a selection of video works and photographs alongside this award-winning film.
