Into Your Arms III | 2009

"Into Your Arms" originates from the story of a woman who, to recover from an impossible love affair, begins to walk through the city, goes into bars and cafes, supermarkets and churches... stops drivers and bikers, comes close to a passerby, a tourist, a homeless... to ask them: "Excuse me, can you take me into your arms?"
Each day she writes down the encounter with these men and women.
Each day she writes to the man she loves and loved, telling him about her recovery.


The project is divided into different stages:

- Performances throughout the city. Béatrice Didier goes to different places in town and performs with this question: "Excuse me, can you take me in your arms?". During these performances, she is accompanied by a photographer / video artist.

-Installation: At the end of her performances, Béatrice Didier lets us see some traces (pictures, videos, letters...) in an area of the city to be defined: a station, a shop, an apartment, a bus, a park...

"Into Your arms III" was a performance to close the exhibition at the Galerie 10/12.
Like a counterpoint to "Into Your Arms I", its purpose was to create a tension between the different approaches explored in "Into Your arms I".
In a plastic space, two women, wrapped in clingfilm, try to get rid of their embrace.
Duration of the performance: around 20 min
