At first sight Mimosa Pale's works may seem to be porn, but they are not. She combines sculpture and performance art and uses her body with delight. She is interested in spaces, where people live; she wants to add her subtle touch into her environment. Mimosa thinks that body is an instrument one must play. She keeps building instruments for everybody to play. Mimosa Pale invites people to play.

Mimosa Pale has studied art in Birmingham, Helsinki and Paris. She has made 50 solo performances in Finland and elsewhere in Europe. She is a member of "In Alternate Spaces" and "Reality Research Center", and plays saw in the band "Forgettes".

Viviana Moin, born 1966 in Buenos Aires, lives and works in Paris. She has studied dance with Mark Tompkins, Steven Paxton, Simone Forti, Lisa Nelson, Vera Montero, David Zambrano, Julian Hamilton, and clownery at the Philippe Gaulier School of Theatre. She has worked with Christophe Haleb, Fred Gies & Fred du Carlo, Serge Ricci and Jérôme Bel.

According to Viviana, in every everyday movement we make, there is dance. She says that there is dance in our most banal and unperceivable movements, as well as in the more extraordinary movements. She intends to make visible this extra dimension in our daily life. She wants to show the strangeness existing there in what we believe we know by heart.
