chloé viton, cosmic soup, 2020-21
em cosmic soup, chloé viton se inspira em uma teoria evolutiva segundo a qual, no início, havia uma grande sopa cósmica primitiva na qual evoluíam diversos elementos químicos (carbono, hidrogênio, potássio, nitrogênio, magnésio e fósforo), que teriam se juntado aleatoriamente ou por afinidade para dar origem às primeiras células.
a partir daí, foram produzidas peças-figurinos para cada elemento químico, que dispõe de uma mitologia e rituais próprios, posteriormente ativadas em performances. trata-se de uma tentativa de conectar signos e imagens, intuições e sons, ritos e ciências em vista de uma nova cosmogonia. a série se completou com uma instalação e performances na exposição possédé.e.s no mo.co. panacée (2020), e no festival tableaux vivants no centre pompidou (2021).
dans cosmic soup, chloé viton s’inpire d’une théorie de l’évolution selon laquelle, au commencemment, il y aurait eu une grande soupe cosmique dans laquelle évoluaient plusieurs éléments chimiques (le carbone, l’hydrogène, le potassium, l’azote, le magnésium, le phosphore), qui se seraient assemblés de manière aléatoire ou par affinité afin de créer les premières cellules.
à partir de cette base, chaque élément chimique est personnifié au moyen d’une pièce-costume et possède ses propres mythologies et rituels, activés postérieurement dans des performances. il s’agit d’une tentative de connecter des signes et des images, des intuitions et des sons, des rites et des sciences, afin de dérouler une nouvelle cosmogonie. la série s’est complétée avec une installation et ses performances lors de l’exposition possédé.e.s au mo.co. panacée (2020), à montpellier, et dans le cadre du festival tableaux vivants au centre pompidou (2021).
in cosmic soup, chloé viton takes inspiration from a theory of evolution according to which, in the beginning, there was a primordial cosmic soup where several chemical elements evolved (carbon, hydrogen, potassium, nitrogen, magnesium, and phosphorus), gathering themselves randomly or by affinity to originate the first cells.
from then on, pieces-costumes were made for each element, bearing a mythology and rituals of its own, later activated in performances. it is an attempt to connect signs and images, intuitions and sounds, rites and sciences aiming at a new cosmogony. the series was completed with an installation and the respective performances at the exhibition possessed at mo.co. panacée (2020), and the festival tableaux vivants at centre pompidou (2021).
