Breakdance video at Bourse de Commerce for Paris 2024 Olympics
A short video by Cyprien Clément-Delmas for Pinault Collection features B-Boy Mathéo Dubar (Kid Mario) breakdancing under the dome of Bourse de Commerce, interacting with Kimsooja's installation 'To Breathe — Constellation'. The work alters spatial perception through mirrors on the Rotonde floor. Breakdance (breaking) debuts as an Olympic sport at Paris 2024, having first appeared at the 2018 Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires. The Paris games include breaking alongside surfing, skateboarding, and sport climbing, with male and female categories of 16 members each. Kimsooja's installation is part of the exhibition 'The World as It Goes' and remains on view until September 23, 2024. Additional works by Kimsooja are displayed in the Passage's 24 windows and the museum's lower level.
