ELINA BRY

WORK
Fusion Food
Collaboration with Hélène Cayet




Instalation and Performance
La Générale, Paris, France
2023
Elina Bry and Hélène Cayet set forth a co-created work at La Générale, Paris, following a 10-day residency. The performance is presented alongside a video installation that loops in the next room.

Fusion Food is an opportunity to share the obsession of the two artists for food, and in this case, more specifically Pasta for Hélène Cayet and Strawberry for Elina Bry. After hours of intense exchanges and ping pong of ideas, we therefore find ourselves face to face with these 2 foods – Pasta and Strawberry – that everything separates, which will end up hybridized, fused, like the organic bodies of the two artists. They seize it with humor and poetry, to the point of making it food for thought, an earthly food.

Creative Degrowth Scotland ELINA BRY is French/Finnish, Glasgow based multidisciplinary artist and award-winning filmmaker. They work across video, storytelling and live performance, and is interested at listening to and re-staging the malfunctions of the human body. They are curious about the body as a sentient arena; as a responsive tool and as a protagonist of an everyday drama. By that, they investigate the known, model it and work in collaboration with the instability of their body. It is essential that they don't cause any harm as they want to challenge their body with the everyday, in order to give a stage and witness what is already there.
The thematic undercurrents of ecology and slow travel prominently weave through their artistic endeavours. Through their multidisciplinary approach, they seek to unravel the nuanced interplay between the human form and its environment, exploring the intricacies of the body while maintaining a conscientious connection to ecological and sustainable principles.
