La Storia
« In our previous work, the diptych Every adidas has a story , we wanted to face fictional and real events that construct people. We tightened our observation field to press sportive pictures, their plastic beauty and their moral ambiguity.To continue our exploration of sources of representation, codes, and what nowadays feeds the collective and individual imagination, we wanted to turn our gaze to other kinds of "factory of dreams" in our present. »

Belot, Jean-Emmanuel
After a course of architecture in Bordeaux, Jean-Emmanuel Belot looks into experimental performative projects by multiplying workshops in dance (with Benoît Lachambre, Carlotta Ikeda, Joao Fiadeiro), in theater or with performers in live art (with Marina Abramovic, Franz Poelstra). He takes part in collective performances (with Christine de Smedt, Fiorenza Menini, Nadia Lauro). He takes part in artistic projects connected to multimedia with artists like Fabrice Vincent, Wolf Ka, Lab (AU), Nicolas Ticot (XLR Project). From 1996 to 2002, with the collective Res Publica, he created Gender, Corpus X, God is my copilot and EN3 4 Jeux3.
In 2002, he founded the Association woo with Stephanie Thomas. He initiated collaborations with various artists including the visual artist Alexander Leveuf, the juggler Jorg Muller, the dancers Carole Perdereau and Ennio Sammarco. With him, on the name of Woo, they develop a common artistic research and sign together, from 2005 to 2009, four productions ("First Issue", "Trio pour un solo" (every adidas has a story), "Les Journées impériales", "La Storia").
Jean-Emmanuel Belot will present a solo called "Tous les christs ici ressemblent à Björn Borg" in April 2010.
After 7 years of joint creations, the members of the Woo association decided to put an end to their collaboration. Jean-Emmanuel Belot is now continuing his career in Bordeaux.
