A man and a woman in a space, but each in their own bodies and with their own organs inside those. We catch a glimpse of a presence. Is someone there? A person, or a spirit? Perhaps a ghost? A human form onto which thoughts are projected, a body that we lend sensations, an animalism with intriguing subjectivity. The figure begins to disappear under the gaze of another, who gives the account of this disappearance.

Museum Of Nothing has been choreographed by Jonah Bokaer, written by Antoine Dufeu and performed by both artists. This project, created for Concordan(s)e 2015, was inspired by I Like America and America Likes Me, created for the René Block gallery in New York in May 1974 by the artist Joseph Beuys. For this performance, Beuys lived in a cage with a wild coyote for three whole days. In their piece, Bokaer and Dufeu explore positions, attitudes, costumes, movements and symbols, as well as the relationship with the floor, offering a perspective of enclosed space, borders and relationships with the audience. This performance is modular, put together according on each venue. Museum Of Nothing also comes across as the symbol of the link between two continents, different worlds, horizontality and verticality, nature and life, nature and death.
