Archeologia was originally a duo by Emmanuelle Huynh and DJ Automat (Raphaël Vendramini) created on October 17 & 18, 2019 at the Centre Pompidou, Paris and at the Petit Palais as part of the festival Parades for FIAC.
Revisited in January 2023 at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes for the Festival Waterproof Archeologia becomes a trio performed by Eliote Bizarro, Matthieu Doze & Emmanuelle Huynh.
Archeologia is an ambulatory performance among museum collections which aims to extend the processes of making works.
In this performance, the performers think of themselves as archaeologists who, through their gestures, their threads, allow the works to deliver bribes of their stories, their strategies, their secrets. By brushing against them, by stopping, they awaken what these works hold in silence or that we have forgotten.
Paul B. Preciado's text "Moving Bodies" taken from An Apartment on Uranus projects its manifesto power into space.
In the depths of their sound and dance story Eliote Bizarro, Matthieu Doze and Emmanuelle Huynh transport the ghosts of the collections of previous museums to make them wander around and place them next to the selection of the place.
Like curators of a new type who collect in their bodies the edges, the tears and the joys of works from one museum that have wandered into another. The ventriloquized bodies of the performers thought of themselves as moving museums containing works.
