dislocated angle
Kinitiras, Athens
2020dislocated angle explores the concept of “transition” on various levels: physically, emotionally, energetically, visually, digitally. I am interested to research during the time of lockdown how the pandemic affects us in our perception of space and sense of physicality. In the midst of discomfort, can can one find comfort in the space of the unknown? Is there a new sense of possibility and transformation? Realignment to an active stillness?
Initially I started this research with my local dance community in Berlin. Due to the second lockdown and its strict contact regulations the project takes its shape in a different way. Using myself as a performer I move within the echo of the presence of other bodies. In close collaboration with a film maker the idea is to play with perspective through the change of camera angles, to create images which can evoke connections beyond borders.
This work was created during a (digital) residency with Kinitiras and the Goethe Institut Athens.
