Discover the first exhibition in France of the Italian artist Alex Cecchetti. This poetic exhibition highlights the ecological and universal dimension of the artist’s work.
For the European Heritage Days, the chateau de Rochechouart invites you to discover the exhibition of Alex Cecchetti.
Artist-poet and choreographer Alex Cecchetti uses performance, writing, sculpture and installation. His practice is strongly imbued with a metaphysical approach, exploring the major themes of time, the link to nature and human experience.
Known primarily for his performances in which he often uses his own body as a means of expression, Alex Cecchetti composes works that oscillate between reality and fiction, involving the active participation of the public.
His approach is tinged with a shamanic dimension and his works act as incantations in order to offer deep sensory and emotional experiences. In the context of the castle and its surrounding nature, Alex Cecchetti offers us a dive into a dreamlike world between metamorphosis and hybridity.
«I am a sea monster» invites us, in a celebration of nature, to return to a primordial dimension, «to become forest again, to become vague» according to the artist’s own words.
Through a series of new works specially created for the museum, the exhibition draws a garden, a forest, an ocean and traces a magical circle where our bodies become jellyfish and stars, our voices move in song of birds or poems. Playing rites, spells and universal beliefs, Alex Cecchetti transports us to a poetic and enigmatic universe, where the boundaries between human and non-human are blurred
