La morsure
The Bite
Andrea Davidson
Canada/ France 2002

Andrea Davidson's work integrates dance, video/image and literature in an interactive choreography. Based on a poem of the Argentine writer, Julio Cortazar, the artist has composed a tragic love story in three multimedia perspectives. The viewer can combine text and image building blocks to form a story and to move through its different levels. This can take place in two variations: actively within the interior of a booth, receptively on the other side of the booth and as a viewer/witness of the event outside, looking at the image projection.
