"Végétal" is about rediscovering the chlorophyll that runs through my veins. Raw matter. Tree, plant world, growth. A reunion with the tree that I am. It's the encounter with Andy Goldsworthy's work, and immediately the intuition that our research is inspired by the same energies." Régine Chopinot quoted in the program for Sigma 31 in Bordeaux (November 1995)." Through "Végétal", Régine Chopinot questions the organizing forces of movement. A mysterious script that the human body carries within itself, and which dance renders legible, revealing the strata of intimate circulations. Those who examine the birth of gestures soon find themselves confronted with another source of emergence: the matter, however impalpable, of what makes up the grain of things, the elements, the kingdoms.
