WALKING IN THE SHADOW
PORTFOLIO #2 - RECYCLART, BRUXELLES 03 OCTOBRE 2009 (20h30)
Photographies : Kumiko Karino + Sandrine Lopez + Bert Danckaert + Aurore Dal Mas + Marc Wendelski 
+ Charlotte Lybeer + Ilse Raps + Julie Calbert + Yohanne Lamoulère + Wim Wauman + Lara Dhondt + Satoru Toma + Marine Dricot + Lucas Jodogne + Ludovic Jaunatre + Christine Felten + Véronique Massinger + Thomas Janssens + Merzedes Sturm-Lie + Sarah Corynen + Pica Pica.
Live music : Michel Henritzi
Projection en live de photographies en 3 parties avec 2 entractes. La première partie présente "Walking in the Shadow", une série d'images de la Japonaise Kumiko Karino. Ces images d'un Japon urbain ou végétal, issues d'une sorte de road movie laissent une large place à l'animal, au brut et aux sensations plutôt qu'aux explications. Elles inspirent Michel Henritzi, dont la musique est influencée par le blues japonais des années 60 et 70 auquel il ajoute les craquements et les bruits d'amplis. Dans la deuxième et troisième partie il propose une relecture sonore d'images d'une vingtaine de talents reconnus ou inconnus. Ces séries souvent inédites profitent du support de projection dans la grande salle pour sortir au grand jour.
