ENVIRONMENT (2023)
Film, 10:44 min
Project by Carlotta Borcherding
The performancefilm Environment (Umgebung)shows projected images, which are determinating the space and the radius of action and interaction of the performers is fragmented into lines that represent the very fundamental appearance of any kind of electromagnetic waves, as the physical foundation of light is as well.
As the electromagnetic waves do, the performers also encounter each other in an interfering manner. Just as the waves, they alter their distance towards each other constantly; they appear and disappear; they stick together and let go, as all elements of life do, in ever-recurring waves of attraction and rejection.The sound composition underlines the power of the physicality of the two protagonists and their movement. The described interferences between the two performing artist and the displayed images respond to the acoustic layers with their choreography.
The artwork is referencing the interactive deep space performance where movement, interaction, sound, projection and light are intertwining elements within a sensotory tracking system.The performancefilm Environment (Umgebung) was premiered at the Ars Electronica Festival 2023 and celebrated by an international audience.
