THE BODY STRETCH by Clémentine Mensonge
90-minute performance for one spectator
In the 1990s, Clémentine Mensonge was invited to NASA for a few months as an observer of the “Earth Observing System” (EOS) pro- gramme. Ever since, she has maintained a strong desire to push the boundaries of human experience and the limits of space.
In this performance installation, which she has created for one spec- tator, the audience will wear 3D glasses and enter a new world de- signed to rede ne the borders of the body. While the visitor travels through various landscapes in the lm installation, their body is ma- nipulated by three performers. The disruption between image and sensation creates a trance-like state which allows the visitor to re-ex- perience the ways the body is felt and perceived, taking them to a new dimension.
