film/video


To see a fish with water, given the variety of perspectives provided by live video projections, we can receive and digest a variety of meanings from the same situation. Video is utilized to reveal and to discover alternative spaces and it breaks the linear time. The pre-shot video material situates the dance in a flexible and authentic environment and that can be augmented and re-interprete by new material being created as the performance takes place. In certain instances, the live performance becomes a real-time-cinema which will be presented through the camera frame. The ordinary movement and behavior become expressions.
