we felt our cells tumble, cluster, and creep

Le Labo is pleased to welcome interdisciplinary artist Anouk Verviers for an exclusive performance titled we felt our cells tumble, cluster, and creep. Presented as part of the Images Festival program, this encounter marks a sensitive dialogue between contemporary artistic practices and bodily experiences.

Echoing her recent film The world was always full of us, Anouk Verviers presents a performative work that delves into the lived experiences of female and non-binary bodies. The artist explores exhaustion not as an end, but as a starting point for imagining new forms of care, kinship, and resistance.

Through an experimental and collaborative approach, she questions established power systems and traditional medical diagnoses, particularly concerning endometriosis. Her practice, at the intersection of film, performance, and installation, invites a deep sense of solidarity and envisions futures where pain becomes a collective strength.

The 30-minute performance will be followed by a discussion with the artist, offering the audience a space to delve deeper into the themes addressed and engage in dialogue about the creative processes.
