SUEUR D’ETOILE

Black Stone, Sweat, Obscurity, 2015-2016.

(with Marie-Agnes Gillot, Dancer at the Opera of Paris)

The sweat of the star ballerina Marie-Agnès Gillot was gathered, after she had

danced Ravel’s Bolero. Laden with the star’s perfect gestures, her fears and joys,

as well as Ravel’s genius, this liquid has been stored in the dark heart of a black

stone sphere, which has been fixed onto the roof, and is visible from the forecourt

of Palais de Tokyo.
