This provocative performance-installation by the Swiss artist Yann Marussich literally makes visible the micro-processes and mutations of the body over time and its continuous exchanges with the environment as his body cries "blue."
In his spectacle-installation Bleu remix, Yann Marussich returns to the theme already explored in 2001 in the Bleu Provisoire spectacle when he let a mysterious blue liquid ooze as blood would through the layers of his skin, as though it was a final effect or a by-product of his body's inner processes. This way, Marussich opened the paths between the inside and the outside world - secret passages from the unconscious, straight to the conscious. In Bleu remix, the artist once more lets us experience an intimate journey through his body. While searching for a kind of universal human being, he takes the essence of Bleu Provisoire's concept, mixes and transforms the senses and uncovers the secret existing reality. Each time the spectacle is performed, a different (local) musician accompanies Yann. This exceptional - unique and one-time - confrontation of a musician with a performance establishes a new relation between the sound and the created image. The spontaneous meeting of two artists brings an element of risk and uniqueness to the event.
Yann Marussich has received the prestigious prize Ars Electronica 2008 (Award distinction) with Bleu Remix in the category Hybrid Art. This prize is awarded to new forms of artistic expression as well as the act of transcending the boundaries between art and research.

Yann Marussich (1966) is a unique character in contemporary dance as he delivers performances which have a scraped, disturbing, provocative, authentic impact on the audience. Since 1989, he signed a score of performances and choreographies diffused in all Europe. Between 1993 to 2000 he was the artistic director of "Théâtre de l'Usine" (Geneva) where he programmed almost exclusively contemporary dance and more specifically new forms of expression. He is the founder of the ADC Studio (Geneva) created in 1993. In 2001, Yann Marussich choreographed Bleu Provisoire, his first completely immobile piece. Since then he has been developing his work in the introspection and the control of immobility while exposing his body to diverse challenges, or even aggressions. His last performances are Autoportrait dans une fourmilière (2003) (Self portrait in an anthill), Morsure (2004) (Bite), Traversée (2004) (Crossing), Blessure (Wound) (2005) and Soif (2006) (Thirst).http://www.myspace.com/bicycleday
