Collective performance, Centre Pompidou, Paris
For Bal de match, participants became the actors in a lively ball of dance challenges and performances, gliding over the boundaries of fiction in the image of the " tennis game " that closes Michelangelo Antonioni's film Blow-up. Pompons were used as purely formal shooting patterns on the imaginary playground: the vogueurs wore scotch-tape cloaks that allowed the pompons to stick to them and draw a polka-dot pattern. Some forty people also took part in the production of the Bal de Match tapestry (pompons on tennis rebound net, 250 x 300 cm), used as a backdrop for the ball.
