Statement of the work:
Inside Out
6 ’02, 2020
Architecture is the starting point of this project.
As we both are engaged in interactivity and urban architecture, we wanted to create a piece that relates to our vision(s) and questions about choreography and interactions. we came up with the idea of choreography in the white cube as a statement and also as aperformance.
Choreography Based on limited gestures in limited space.
Movement is the most basic gesture that we can experience and achieve.
As we both are engaged in movement based work in urban space and relations, we decided to build a project interacting with it and develop it around the different interactions and possibilities based on it.
