1. Le corps est matériel. Il est dense. Il est impénétrable. Si on le pénètre, on le disloque, on le
troue, on le déchire.
From 58 Indices sur le corps et extension de l’âme. Éditions Nota bene, Québec, 2004.

1. A body's material. It's dense. It's impenetrable. Penetrate it, and you break it, puncture it, tear it.
From Fifty-eight Indices on the Body (Corpus), Jean-Luc Nancy. New York, Fordham University Press, 2008.

1. Il corpo è materiale. È denso. Impenetrabile. Se lo penetriamo si smembra, si buca, si lacera.
From Jean-Luc Nancy, Indizi sul corpo. Ananke Edizioni, Torino, 2009

Jean-Luc Nancy Recording Index 1

57. A body touched, touching, fragile, vulnerable, always changing, fleeing, ungraspable, evanescent under a caress or a blow, a body without a husk, a poor skin stretched over the cave where our shadow floats ...
From Fifty-eight Indices on the Body (Corpus), Jean-Luc Nancy. New York, Fordham University Press, 2008.

57. Corps touché, touchant, fragile, vulnérable, toujours changeant, fuyant, insaisissable, évanescent sous la caresse ou sous le coup, corps sans écorce, pauvre peau tendue sur une caverne où flotte notre ombre…
From 58 Indices sur le corps et Extension de l’âme. Éditions Nota bene, Québec, 2004.

57. Corpo toccato, toccante, fragile, sempre cangiante, sfuggente, inafferrabile, evanescente sotto la carezza o il pugno, corpo senza scorza, povera pelle tesa su una caverna dove fluttua la nostra ombra...
From Jean-Luc Nancy Indizi sul corpo. Ananke Edizioni, Torino, 2009

Jean-Luc Nancy Recording Index 57

INTRODUCTION:
2013 was the year of the launch of ‘58 (+1) indices on the body’, an ambitious multi-media project designed to extend Jean-Luc Nancy’s text and intended to offer clues that explore the notion of body and soul through action and sound. 

PREVIOUS CHAPTERS:
From 2013 the collective Amae and artist Pier Giorgio De Pinto performed 5 actions derived from the 58+1 paragraphs initially written by Nancy and were invited to meet the philosopher and perform two actions with him in Freiburg and Strasbourg.

Later, Nancy wrote 4 more paragraphs exclusively for the project and recorded his own voice reading the whole of the 63 statements.

To celebrate the event, one more performance took place at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in London. 

Following this 63 audio tracks were selected from submissions by more than 40 composers to create a soundscape for each recording of Nancy’s voice.

THE PRESENT DAY:
We now believe that the time has come to put everything into moving images. Therefore we are now opening a call to all performance artists willing to give their own unique contribution to Nancy’s statements.

We are looking for brand new pieces, specifically made for ‘63 VIDEOS ON THE BODY’.
