F002 → Confusion
Experimental Dance | 13’ | 4K DCP | 1:85 | Netherlands | 2023
Confusion was a collaboration with performer Noemi Calzavara, during our shared residency at TENT in Rotterdam. We were both intrigued by humans curiosity to experience the world through non-human bodies and senses. How would the world feel like? Blending our expertises in dance and cinema, we explored non-human embodiments through a series a technical experiments. One of the results was visually unique and intriguing. By mismatching the camera signal with its recording format, we changed how images were made in real-time. For example, adjusting focus significantly affected both colors and shapes of Noemi’s body. The powerful vibrancy of the images eventually confused colors and forms into a unique aesthetic of interconnections.
The project, commissioned by Time Window and hosted by TENT, was presented publicly as a performance and installation.
