PERFORMANCE FOR RESTRICTED SPACE

video installation, performance, 2006

7’ looping

Performance of two bodies in restricted spaces: the space of the bodies, of the architectural structure for the performance (a concrete ledge of 2,0m X 50cm X 5 cm fixed against the wall), and that of the 3 mini dv cameras’ viewfinders, where the performance occurs. Performance of two bodies that, in the video, are impossible bodies: they are cropped, decupled and recombined through the instrumentality of the technology. At the end, this restricted space figures as an unlimited possibility to bridge the gap between what the mind desires and what the limited body cannot fulfill – but that the “info-body” can.
