Description
Human experience is provoked by the body’s relationship to external structures and to space. Our project explores this ever-present relationship. We are interested in the negotiation between the body and the environment that occurs when navigating through space; both where and when relationships are formed between architecture and humans to create place. Exploring the paradigm of the moving body as it exists in space, while it is space itself, we intend to discover the possibilities of confinement and space, as well as how desire is constructed between the body and space. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, we are integrating the moving body with sculpture, architecture, and sound technologies to explore corporeality as it is performed, perceived, and consumed. This project deconstructs space through movement that interacts with sculpture, sonic, and spatial gestures to rescript through the body, space, and environment.
