Gilles’ research is about how spaces modulate the behaviour, he is interested in the performativity of the urban space and its relationship with daily gestures.
Gilles has explored the town of Blanca, and chosen the squares for his observations.
In each of them he could find a reincidence in the behavior of the passersby.
Gilles performs these movements and others which the features of the places suggest; he likes to disrupt the regular fluxus of the urban life and to find and include in these environments elements which performativity leaves a trace. This is why he is moving from dance to installation in the urban space.
He likes to think about the furnitures and the architecture as an expansion of the body, as a prosthesis that limits or expands our capacities.
