How does Kimberley de Jong rediscover his process of reactivating bodily memories in Sylvain Émard’s work Fragments?

The project Le corps qui cherche is an exploratory phase of doctoral student Mélissa Raymond‘s research-creation project Chorégraphier les restes: approche écosomatique du corps-archive.
