Suddenly , us , the moderns , lost the night .
(Pascal Quignard)
This sentence is the origin of Projet Noir. It is the starting point of a reflection on our relationship with darkness - with this night that we lost - with the pendular blackness that always gave rhythm to our life and that seems to have all but vanished of our modern electric urban every days lives. We are no longer bask in the ink of the night. We lost its load of silence, peace, bestiality, creativity, mystery, sensualism…
We lost its color.
Black is the ideal cloak of austerity (monks, dark frocks of the bourgeoisie of the nineteenth century), the definitive statement of luxury (tuxedo or caviar) but also the summons images of misery (soot, grime, coal mines). Black is contradictory, mysterious. It is the before and the after, the sea and the sky. It is the night. Black is multiple, magical, powerful. It scares & it attracts. Black is not innocent.
The idea germinated, then came the impetuous desire to work with this raw matter, for a meeting with this lost dark , for a search for artistic forms which would allow us to think the night, to evoke the after-evening, to taste the dark. Projet Noir , through exhibition, dance show, drama etc… offer an exciting ballad in search of the beauties, the secrets, the pleasures and the symbolism of the Black, of the Night. All the events will come to life, meet and overlap in a same beautiful place located in the arty district of Sheung Wan on Hong Kong island.
