PLAY Series
2023 - 2024
Four women, four hours. Between stillness and movement, object and subject, four dancers compose their bodies as danced tableaux vivants. PLAY combines dance and visual art into an interdisciplinary durational performance marked by repetition. Oscillating between sculpture, painting and dance, the everyday flood of digital images is countered by the immediacy of the decelerated, tender and dangerous body.
