DESSIN

 

DESSIN DANSANT as part of the closing event for DESSIN, mort ou vif on January 10, 2026, at the editorial office, Himmelrichstrasse 4, Lucerne, curated by Stephan Wittmer

​

"COME IF YOU DARE (2018) is a cross-media work by Barbara Hennig Marques in which a graphic interpretation of a 16th-century copperplate engraving became the starting point for a video work: dancer Olivia Lecomte translated the drawing into movement. 

​

DESSIN DANSANT (2025/26) continues and expands on this work. The original drawing is turned upside down and serves as a drawing surface on which visitors follow the projected movements and create a new, collective drawing. This drawing is then reinterpreted through dance by Olivia Lecomte, closing the circle between drawing, body, and translation." Stephan Wittmer
