From original sin to the exile from paradise, from the fall of angels to Icarus’s flight, the image of the downfall has spanned periods in the history of art as one of the great representations of the fallible nature of man. In Executions, Julie Guibert explores certain physical and emotional states of the human body that are linked to the very act of falling. She accepts the concept of giving way to imbalance through agitation and letting go, rage and forgetting up to the moment of shock, that instant where the human body hits the ground in a final summersault. With each impact, it creates commotion and symptoms which it seeks to vanquish. Every fall carries the risk of death. As if opening onto a nothingness, slowly falling off the pedestal, the collapse of one’s conscience where one can also lose one’s self. The art of disappearing despite one’s self.
