GYMNOPÉDIES: SALOMÉ & NASCIMO FOURNIER
Check out this captivating freestyle video edit by by Salomé & Nascimo Fournier, set to the hauntingly beautiful music of THYLACINE – Satie II. The soundtrack perfectly complements the smooth, stylish action, all filmed against the stunning backdrop of Karpathos, Greece. Definitely worth a watch…the music truly elevates the vibe.
In addition to Satie’s music, the Gymnopédies reference the dances of young Greeks in antiquity, initiatory summer dances, unarmed. In this vein, Salomé and Nascimo Fournier repeat their freestyle moves’ scales on Karpathos’ spots, in the Dodecanese, in the limbo of the Aegean Sea. Studying mathematics at university, they will soon rediscover their poetic dreams, their next memories, mixing freestyle and wandering ideas.
Gymnopédies The Dodecanese, in the limbo of the Aegean Sea. The island of memories of the air of water.
The Gnossienne.. What is written in the clouds? Next memories? Photographs from below? Gods’ ideas? The day is transforming, the wind rises, the curtain disappears, further away the sun rises again for an immense day, a day that gets longer, that doesn’t close, no more clouds, only the sun, the blue. The day adapts. What is written in the clouds? the history of the world, philosophy, mathematics, geography, the reflection of the sea, the appearance of the sun..? Always the same day, infinitely. Poetic. Politic
Rebetika and Satie play the gymnopédies, they dance. And have several geometries play simultaneously. Satie removed bar lines for the sake of mythos, demystification, ‘no borders’. Rebetika rejects gnossos, for the sake of didactics. She pushes the sound of the wandering oud beyond the water of the air. They discuss and get tangled into communism and humanism. Learned. Up above the clouds have no borders anymore, ‘no border’!
The air of the water, Gnossienne. Always the same day, infinitely. Artistic. Anarchic. There, all is but order and beauty, luxury, calm and delight.
Baudelaire, exiled from the opium he was, looking for the ‘rainbow’ of the poet mate, drank ouzos with Pythagoras and Socrates while scrutinising Jason’s fate, the immigrant disappointed by his Uncle Tom’s capital. Shooed away. Looking for the ‘rainbow’, as he looked for the fleece. Stranded, in the triangle of the submerged city, with its uncertain walls, that of a summer night’s dreams, simply under the Moon, timeless, without ‘borders’, without boundaries, without limits, the sequence… Fibonacci counted it, he too crossed the triangle of the Atlantises to find his theorem, his own Archimedes’ principle. The Christian Democrats and the Arabic numerals met somewhere around here, built pyramids with Greek pebbles of Venus marble then, after the war, found themselves at sand’s edge on the beach, in the wind, under the clouds and the sun. The sea carries along a heap of absurdity: from the sand to the commander’s plastic, from the Sirens’ music to the theorems of religions, everything is transformed, there remain clouds, calm, beauty, bits of the Argonauts’ boat. ‘No borders’. Malleable, common. Shaped. Mythical. Raw. Destructured. Thought. Next memories.
Clouds are pushed by the meltemi. ‘No borders’. Rebetika and Satie’s suite resonates between Thylacine’s eares, the strings cross the Aegean Sea, as the clouds pass in Verlaine’s wind-soled head, ‘no borders’. The triangle widens, becomes a piano quartet, round, no measures, ‘no borders’. Only clouds in the sky. Common.
Free. Rebetika and Satie repeat again the borderless paths, keep on playing Oriental scales on occidental measures. From the South of the Sun to the North of the Moon. Under the clouds, enough with the figure that doesn’t know if it has three sides, between port and starboard of culo, if it becomes quadrilateral,.. if not blending, endlessly, to suddenly appear without limits. Freestyle. ‘No borders’.
