Video-dance made during the first lockdown of the Covid-19 Pandemic.
A reflection on the repetitiveness of daily life and home spaces.
A reflection on the repetitiveness of daily life and home spaces.
Lockdown starts.
I ask myself how being confined can affect my work.
I walk around.
Get stuck in repetition – one body, one space.
At first, this was a crisis.
Then, it became a game.
Me versus some furniture and objects.
We try to figure out how we had not yet communicated.
What we had not yet seen.
Someone else joins.
She is also stuck somewhere, in her own repetition.
I don’t see her, though. She seems like… sound?
Movement rises, patterns rise.
A dance begins.
Duet-trio-quartet.
I cannot count anymore.
Right now, all of this is a video.
Are we stuck inside the screen?
