01.   Compulsive Collection v.5: Edition Surface

(Project Overview)
COMPULSIVE Collection V.5, Surface explores repetition, discipline, and obsession through human anatomy. Developed with Béjart Ballet Lausanne, it focuses on the back as a site of movement and expression.
‍

(Context)
In ballet, the back is invisible but essential. It sustains posture, projects emotion, and balances strength with fragility.
‍

(Research Focus)
The back is treated as a structural archive of choreography. Surface highlights the mechanics and memory behind movement.
‍

(Concept)
The publication is a compulsive act of archiving. It captures traces of motion rather than the performance itself. The body is documented as a surface shaped by motion. Repetition, sequencing, and scale translate physical endurance into print.
‍

(Outcome)
V.5 functions as both document and object. It archives something inherently unarchivable: movement.
