The fascination that shadows generally exert seems to span across ages...

A visual, sound and introspective journey

The shadow of the body is the necessary element to express and explore an open space which would give the spectator a leading role connecting them frontally and with awareness of what they are.

The shapes (deformed at times) suggest a questioning of the usual hierarchies through a critical approach of the real and the symbolic. They encourage the imagination inviting to a process which rises understanding or a productive ambiguity as much in the performer as in the spectator.

The usage of non-verbal language takes us to explore the blind spots of vision. It supports a sensorial and aesthetic reflection about ways of seeing and about the unavoidable dialectics if light and darkness.

The shadow of the body in its raw austerity turns into an image-shadow, a stimulator which produces a both ways dialogue between itself and the spectator.

We create a problem without words but with our eyes; an invitation to discover what it is, an incitement to find out what is being gambled in a body that turned into a shadow and sometimes, into ourselves.

Fred Roumagne
Trained as a visual artist (BA hons in Fine art, École des Beaux-Arts of Bordeaux, DNAP and DNSEP).
His approach to sound evaluates music and sound environments in general as plasticity materials.
His sound creative work focusses mainly in the embellishment or interpretation of both sound landscapes and narratives (or the transcription of the world into audible frequencies).
Therefore, he suggests sound states in which reality traces and constructed sounds, improvisation and concrete music, tonal composition, analogous synthesis, acoustic and electronic instruments. It’s an universe made of forces and mases where space and time rebuild themselves.
