Premiered at the National Museum in Gdansk, Poland. Project "Mélange" is the result of a search for a common platform for butoh dance and photography. The artists questions the dialogue between a photographed matter and the human body. They wish to create “a living photography” to serve as a notebook of their surroundings.
The merging of the butoh body and images depicting a process of decay, opening a new field of meaning. It raises the biology of changes around us to another level.
"Mélange" questions the identity of a contemporary body. Can the body create a new integrity? Is it possible for a body in defragmentation to reach a new dimension?
