Waterloo to Waterloo

The references inherent to Sean and Jean Pierre's respective work, as much as the references characteristic to the Musical Paintings‚ genesis, are figurative: Pop culture, computer world, cinema, etc. But the clash of subjects may not be fortuitous. Each work will then be conceived around a theme.

As the concept of these Musical Paintings is rather simple, so must be the generic idea that will link them together. One must find the same richness of reference in this project as one finds in the artists solo work, that of internal networks and the contemporary setting of past and present elements.

They have therefore chosen the general theme of travel. This theme is also a direct echo of the artists‚ real lives and their way of working together in two different cities, London and Brussels. From there derives the concept Waterloo to Waterloo, theme of the first Musical Painting.

Platforms, trolleys, luggage, tunnels, announcements, changing landscapes, moving farewells, yesterday's and today's travellers, arrivals and departures,... , as well as echoes of an ancient battle: the spectator-director will have at his disposal an array of audio and visual clues to write an original story, dotted with extreme encounters, or one that simply tells of the sweet poetry of everyday life.
