L’INVITATION AU VOYAGE - TÜRKIYE
A poetic journey through movement, place, and light.
At the invitation of the French Institute of Turkey, multidisciplinary artist Mathieu Forget, also known as The Flying Man, embarked in November 2021 on a unique artistic journey through five emblematic regions: Bodrum, Izmir, Ankara, Cappadocia, and Istanbul. This visual and choreographic odyssey gave birth to "Invitation Au Voyage", a project where the body becomes a vector of wonder, a bridge between architecture, natural heritage, and the poetry of movement.
Mathieu Forget traveled across the Turkish landscape with an approach that is at once sensitive, grounded, and aerial. He explores each space as a living stage, where every motion and moment of suspension redefines our perception of place. The body is not displayed for itself, but rather to elevate and reveal its surroundings — a horizon, a stone, a ray of light. His works unveil another side of Turkey: intimate, poetic, and almost dreamlike.
