Epistolary Telepoetry
...imaginal textual and sound poetry...
GENESIS
Telepoetry is a concept initiated by Alain Joule in the 90s, it is in the concentration of thought to realize an artistic act in connection with other artists who is not in the same place. TV (far, remote) and poetic (in its primary sense of creation)
Telepoetry is a dissociation of space and time making the creative power of the thought of the artists who practice it, the connected vector of their sharing, the latter generating a common artistic work.
If the somewhat telepathic realization of the actors requires nothing more than the "related" participation of the protagonists, transforming its result into a work is another step. In this second phase, it will be a question of putting together the creations of the participants and to operate an imaginal textual and sound orchestration by using a process close to improvisation as it operates by constantly listening to the hazard that becomes an important partner in the realization.
My meeting with Chizuko was through a musician friend (Michiko Motoi) with whom I made a first telepoetic epistolary exchange in January 2014: ( epistolary music n°1 - Vidéo Dailymotion )
We have been exchanging regularly with Chizuko for several years photos, sound, videos, I have made several telepoetic montages with her and the desire to set up an artist duo to make our practice sustainable is naturally imposed.
CREATIONS
ABOUT
After a summer of bubbling gestation, AKJC duo has just been born.
We want to develop our practice and extend it to live shows that we consider as rituals. We will continue to design works for Internet dissemination but also for art galleries and museums.
We believe in the power of encounter. Each work is a bottle in the sea just waiting to be opened and interpreted.
Thus is born each time the possibility of a work to be rewritten by the one who perceives it.
AKJC is a mixed acronym which is already in itself a way of conceiving sharing.
The A of Aj the K of Koizumi, the J of aJ the C of Chizuko.
A duo of plural epistolary and telepoetic poetry that produces artistic rituals summoning the sacred as a relationship of the act with its total connection, between human, non-human and more than human, an ecosophist dimension affirmed
Biographies
Chizuko Koizumi
Born and raised in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.
Dancer, singer, artist, model.

The people of the island cherish the music that unfolds between the sky and the ground, the human body, and the act of dedicating it to receive blessings from the gods as part of their daily cycle, and the naturalness of the people, with trees and animals at the root of this.
Through dance, we will learn from the people of Bali about the sense of security that comes from knowing that all living things in the natural world live together, and the vitality and health of human beings that are at the root of this.
After returning to Japan, she mainly worked as a Balinese classical dancer, performing in performances, teaching, and producing dance works.
In the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011,
she developed a dance activity that focused on her own life and activities rather than her genre, and through collaborations with artists of various genres, she created a way to see her own body vividly writhing and moving.

AJ
Born in Marseille
Lives and works in Montreal, Qc
My social commitment can be summed up in one sentence: Improvisation as an aesthetic of the republic
My state of vibrancy can be summed up in one word: Reliance
After a lifetime at the service of artistic creation, I have developed an "otherwise" that has led me to the elaboration of a counterpoint of forms allowing the imaginal (all that is perceived by sight), the sonic (all that is perceived by hearing) and the textual (the poetization of language in writing and reading), to journey together embracing the status of autonomous and complementary.
A poetry defined as creation in act (Poiésis and Praxis), interacting the text to be read or heard, the visual arts (painting, sculpture, installations), the sound arts (written and improvised music, instrumental, vocal and electroacoustic) and the movement arts (dance, action choirs) in the same realization.
Holder of a Master's degree in musicology (Université de Toulouse Jean Jaurès): "L'improvisation comme esthétique de la république" and a PhD in arts study and practice (Université du Québec à Montréal): "La possibilité d'une oeuvre".
