SPACEPROJECT
Presented by Dancehouse and Prue Lang
As architect and designer Fredrick Kiesler pointed out in his manifesto for stage space that embraced three-dimensionality: “There is only one space element: motion.” And if we map ‘motion’, it is against one axis representing space and one representing time.
Timeproject (France, 2013) was an investigation of movement through the perception of time. Spaceproject (Australia, 2015) is the investigation of movement through the perception of space. Both works have at their heart the human body; the body as living receptor, measurer and generator of understandings of space and time.
