Performance
Life / Alive / Enliven
The alive as a partner.
It is political.
It is philosophical and it is physical. Karine Blanche develops her universe through different senses. She weaves scent, video, painting and music in her daily practice as in installation or live performance.
This free way of thinking, reading and working arises from her experience and relation to her environment.
Non-human is the motto of Karine Blanche Emmanuelle, the base of her research on the self limitations human being has inflicting to it/him/her self.
Offering to the self a part of unknown.

Anatomy of present
Dissection of future
Drawing as an art of divination for Karine Blanche, a way to write the past and the future.
As a documentation of her daily exploration, her drawing and painting practice track the root of words and map their trajectories. The act of writing and the act of drawing melt as if she could redraw the path, transform the present or tell the future.
NOT THE OBJECT OR THE SUBJECT but the relation.
Karine Blanche ritualizes and celebrates collaborative processes between humans and non humans...
She like to give space for the relation to unfold.
She creates in her settings tension between bodies and environment - urban environment, domesticated nature or primary rainforest and gives back a responsible posture to the observer.

What are traces? The one we leave behind and the one we follow? Which one are we following? What, who do we follow?
On what do we put our attention on? What do we let ourselves be informed by?
Forms of life and their expressions have always fascinated me. Not really to have a specific idea about it once for all, but more to direct myself and let me shaped by its experience.
Only then, we can respond.
Only then we are responsable.
But how to observe, read, listen to the traces?
By having a body and letting unfold the inward for a field tracking of living territories that are our foundation.
Only then I can think.
" an attempt to circumvent by whistling dualisms between science and fiction, poetry and reason to prepare the encounter with the mystery of the living and to do justice to otherness to show that they (the others) are not just physical matter and their differences are not deficiencies or deficiencies.
They have a body other than us that opens up an incredible space of possibilities of existence. The fabric of life is a tapestry of time and we are not ahead." Jean Baptiste Morizot, Ways of being Alive.

Sound
Subtles as bodies
It can be concrete bodies or more subtle, colors, smells or sounds, I like to confronte me with different kind of matter. Maybe to question this matter in me, what they are made of... From intense to subtle one. Sound is one kind of matter.
A way of encountering, dialoguing, interacting with different forms of life within and outside of me.
