Video, Full HD, 2’ 56’’
Throughout history, there have been a lot of concepts of movement — from body language to various kinds of dance to floating above the ground like levitation. In fact, movement is a simple function, with the basic purpose to get from one point to another. All other concepts on movement are cultural constructs and intellectual associations. Building on this simple principle, we treat the body as the driving force of a simple starting point. A point that can be moved by the body and therefore displaced to different locations. In this case, the point is a unique conveyor – it carries sound. The video is based on the pitch phenomenon, a perceptual property that allows the ordering of sounds on a frequency-related scale. The composition is made of four frames, in which the moving figure’s head determines the pitch on the scale of each frame, from higher to lower. This aleatoric quartet reveals a specific approach, where some primary elements of a composed work’s realisation are left to the determination of its performer.
