THE PROJECT

The sport is synonymous with going beyond oneself, temerity, will and endurance. These values founded the mythology of the sport and nourished the companies from time immemorial. The sportsmen know at the cost of ceaseless efforts of the victories or the defeats. Their forces and their weaknesses are then subjected to the projectors.
To overcome the fear, to overcome tiredness, to overcome the media pressure while remaining powerful, shining and irreproachable, such are the challenge.
Marie-José Perec, phenomenon alive incarnating the supremacy speed to female, remains an emblematic figure of force, courage, will. Of a single and universal nature, it knew to defy the laws of the gods of the stage, champion of Europe, world champion, triples Olympic champion, her prize list so far remains unequalled.
Marie-José Perec, left a sharp print in the universal collective memory. Its races inserted the public in its dreamed eminently real and palpable of a search of absolute victory.
But which is the price to be paid for this fulgurating rise? It is through the image of this large athlete that the dancers interpreters Jean-Luc Mégange and Stella Moutou thus the creator video-sound Thyeks (Thierry Girard) will question the world of the high level sport where the body and the spirit are put at severely testeds. It is following a publicity campaign conducted in Guadeloupe that James Carlès met the interpreters of the project. It has them since follow-up and a little accompanied, then the desire was born to carry out with them an ambitious project with the assistance of Artchipel, National scene of Guadeloupe, the CDC the Winter ones and the Network Culture France (the Caribbean).

 

AUDIOVISUAL QUESTIONING

Creation is based around the concept of limps which represents lock up it. It is in the sense that the multi-media intervention questions the two following aspects. That of the psychology of the sportsman, in order to try to represent what occurs in its head, its stress, its nervous connections, taking up the idea to position in its limps cranial.
The second aspect is the analogy with the other limps which is the television which is source of setting to the honor, of visibility, like pressure and aggressions media and financial through the brands which seek to be there represented via the image of the sportsmen of high levels. the diversion of the flashes with for objectives to exploit two aspects. The flash of the victory synonymous with success and that with the aggression with the paparazzis.
