SPHEARES

SPHEARES opens up a speculative time-space that understands materially acoustically and visually perceptible vibrations as access points to alternative, invisible, untouchable, inarticulable, inaudible realities lingering in between.


Sound recordings of a dancer are at the core of SPHEARES. The body moves between and through the audience via six loudspeakers distributed around the room. The slow, almost immobile images projected onto gauze show a transparent, collapsed, void world that appears to be unrelated to the acoustic dance. Along a further sonic level of artificial spatial sounds, the audience is transported through seemingly incoherent, hypothetical time-spaces, which in turn invite the audience to drift and doze off. Always counterpointed by the constantly dancing body, the gazes of the audience seated opposite occasionally meet when the gauze blanks out or when their own focus is lost.
