The art practice of Wolfe De Roeck focuses on the re-visualization of physicality. She explores and transforms the boundaries of physicality into a deeper, conceptual experience. Using multimedia technologies, rituals, and traditional elements, De Roeck creates a unique fourth dimension within performance, in which action theater plays an important role.
Her work is imbued with movement; it forms a continuous search for the dynamics of movement. She strives to dissect values while simultaneously building an innovative visual identity characterized by shifts and changes.
As a performer, De Roeck explores the boundary between body and object.
In her work My, I Present You, she focuses on ancient Venus statues that exist in a time when the authenticity of an image can no longer be ascertained. She works with materials that have also been used in art history, but which take on new meaning through their mutability in interaction with the environment. From her background as a dancer—where perfection in imitation was central—she approaches performance as an experience that transcends the boundaries between physicality and objectivity.
My, I Present You depicts a performer and dancer's search for a portrait of how she wishes to present herself in a Western art landscape that has prioritized beauty throughout the centuries. A beauty that is abstract in itself, yet has been made visual time and again.
This performance thus creates a space where performer and audience meet. The body does not stand still, but keeps moving, constantly shifting between what one sees, how one interprets, and how identity and self-image are viewed.
