For Camera Camera the gallery presents Les Indes Galantes, a disruptive cross between images of krump dancers (the dance of the ghettos of Los Angeles) and the 18th century harmonies of Les Indes galantes by Jean-Philippe Rameau, the visual and sound oxymoron of Cogitore works marvelously, meteor to clicks on the networks. The dancers sketch hip hop choreographies on a classical score – it’s funny and very beautiful: the opera has, it seems, taken to the streets and the latent images of Cogitore are diffused in the public space. Produced for 3e Scène, the online platform of the Paris Opera. Photo Les Films Pelleas.

About the artist

« A powerful storyteller, Cogitore plays with our eyes of Saint-Thomas – who only believe what they see – and manipulates the registers of the story: tragedy, tale, epic, chanson de geste, with today’s means. « .
