Between gestures

Posture, gesture, presence: a long-term research practice into what bodies carry and transmit without saying it.


Interdisciplinary Swiss-Portuguese artist based in Rennes, Inès Mauricio brings together dance, performance, analogue photography, writing, and DJing. Her work investigates the invisible mechanisms of transmission embedded in gestures, postures, and narratives—bodies understood in their situated, reflexive, and political dimensions.

Her practice draws on a dual lineage: hip hop culture, the foundational ground of her artistic and personal development, and American conceptual art. Self-taught, she develops a minimalist language attentive to the shifts between posture and gesture, presence and withdrawal. Her long-term research project, Posture(s) pour l’invisible, explores what bodies communicate beyond words, and how inherited and silent narratives are inscribed in the ways we inhabit space.

Analogue photography has accompanied this research for several years and deeply shapes her relationship to movement. Like photography, posture captures a state, a tension, a relationship to the world—an image traversed by visible and invisible layers of narrative.

In 2019, she founded Ateliers Mouvement Libre, spaces for research and transmission open to all bodies, conceived as places for sensitive exploration rather than normative learning. Her DJing practice extends this attention to states of presence, notably through her listening format Contemplation Sonore, launched in 2020.

With Mackenzy Bergile, she co-founded the structure Être et Faire et Être in 2025, through which she now develops her work as an interdisciplinary creator. Together, they also produce Regard Sur Le Geste, an editorial project that archives their creative processes and nurtures critical reflection around the artistic and bodily practices they explore together.

She is also co-founder of the Breton collective The Love Movement and co-director of Creative BPM, based in Geneva.
