About Me
- Ariane Leblanc
- This new status of the original is the perfectly rational consequence of the new means of reproduction. But it is at this point that a process of mystification again enters. The meaning of the original work no longer lies in what it uniquely says but in what it uniquely is. How is its unique existence evaluated and defined in our present culture ? It is defined as an object whose value depends upon its rarity. John Berger in Ways of Seeing –––––––––––––– Grotowski wanted to find the impulse of a totally unknown gesture, a gesture that you would not be able to find anywhere in daily life, or in the language of traditions, either oriental or European. He wanted to attain pure impulse. An impulse, he knew, is not visible, it has to be carried by something and this carrier, this vehicle, is the human body. Through an intonation, through movements and gestures, he wanted to find in a more and more precise and detailed manner, the relation between the internal energies of the body and their external expression.
