ADAGIO – Trailer – FESCH.TV

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Marc Vanrunxt & Stef Van Looveren

ADAGIO puts a variety of inclusive bodies on display. It does not recite a ‚truth‘ but aims to be a question mark looking out for a spectrum of possibilities, of plausible answers. These bodies are neither male nor female. They are non-binary. They evolve in dialogue with each other, in the continuous slowness of their being that is always in flux. This applies equally to the images. Not pinned down to a text or to a narrative and particularly comfortable in their aesthetic, they are not non-committal, however.

ADAGIO is ambitious and committed. It does away with old-fashioned thinking and outdated, hurtful stereotypes. In a world of limits and oppression, it searches for authenticity and breaks through structures that society systematically places on people and bodies. These makers do not take themselves too seriously: they deliberately flirt with what are called the boundaries of taste. Moreover, Van Looveren and Vanrunxt like to cycle between art, fashion and design; advertising, club culture or video clips also infuse this work.
