Tu Danses
Nick & Chloé for Gabriel Auguste
Tu Danses is a music video for the electronic musician, Gabriel Auguste.
It is the second chapter to our earlier Slowset project. (exhibited at Futures of Love, Magasins Généraux, Paris, 2019)
We explore the theme of the Slow Dance through the gaze of youth.
Believing that the slow dance is nearing extinction, here is our call to arms to nurture and revive this classic courting ritual.
The contemporary dance and music world has turned their back on this mystical, awkward but pragmatic way to encounter the “object of your desire”.
Our gaze fixed downwards on smart phones missing the human life in our proximity.
We went back to Berlin, renowned for its techno, mono dancing scene.
We gathered a cast of teenagers to come along to our neo futuristic set which acted as a kind of “quarantine zone” where they could practise the art of the Slow Dance without ridicule.
