A being buried by a redundant memory, that of a hand pressed against its flesh, of a lip opened in resistance, of the physical or psychic attempt to escape from aggression. The aggressed being has encountered the death of a part of himself. His flesh no longer seems to belong to him. The protective wall of his body has been removed, and he has been deprived of the skin envelope that allowed him to have a face. His skin has been stripped away to reveal raw flesh, ready for consumption. The being decided to live and discover a life marked by a new birth: aggression.
This creation looks at the post-traumatic mechanism following an aggression and how we manage to "create new techniques of the self which are as much political, bodily and intimate transformations".

Les Brigittines, center d'art
Sound artist born in 1981, Lucien Gaudion lives and works in Marseille since 2010.
His career path leads him to focus on strategies of transformation of auditory perception. He creates listening contexts, electroacoustic compositions, installations or performances that use or divert complex technological processes with a clear will to free himself from their tyranny. Dismembered loudspeakers, sonorized neons, speaker arches are part of the non-chromatic range of Lucien Gaudion.
