Plasticienne et chorégraphe, Laura Rouzet est une artiste multidisciplinaire installée entre Paris et Londres. A l'intersection de la performance et de l'art contemporain, elle élabore un langage visuel et corporel pour questionner la perméabilité de notre statut humain. Travaillant sur le rapport entre le soi et ce qui nous entoure, ses œuvres deviennent des espaces aux frontières poreuses où les environnements humain, animal, organique et digital se mêlent.
Imprégnée de la philosophie posthumaine et des récits mythologiques, son travail aborde les anxiétés contemporaines comme la solastalgie, nostalgie de notre future et de l’avenir de notre planète, ainsi que des anxiétés plus intimes liées à la perception du corps et à la relation que nous entretenons avec cette enveloppe muable et subjective.
THE_FEELING_OF_BEING_2020
'The Feeling of Being' is a digital body of work consisting in an assemblage of short performance, micro poems, GIF, and digital compositions. The specificity of the format mirrors how the work has been made, and how my process of creating and performing has shifted during the lockdown, dealing with short attention span and physical restrictions.
More than ever we feel our spatial boundaries becoming simultaneously more intense and blurry, we found ourself in a physical confinement, we feel our flesh, we desperately reach our digital sphere, we balance our mental space while we are dismissing our natural environment.
Reflecting on how we relate between self, space and environment, The Feeling of Being' ponders on the open question: What are we in the process of becoming?
The work has emerged in participating in the online project 30works30days run by 120collective and supported by Artquest during the lockdown Covid 19. (The online project required making 1 work per day during 30 days ). It was then selected by the online exhibition space Skelf for the exhibition Ways and Means.

THE FEELING OF BEING EMPTY
LIKE THE CAVITY OF THE OYSTER
VISCOUS AND SHINY
ANXIOUS AND WOBBLY
THE KIND OF CAVITY
THAT ONLY SHINES IN THE DARK
DEAD AND ... EMPTY

THE FEELING OF DISTORTION
OF BEING MULTIPLE AND APART
OF BEING SEPARATED FROM ME
SOMETIMES FROM YOU
THE FEELING OF NOT KNOWING
NOT KNOWING
DOES THIS LIMB BELONG TO 'WHO'?
