Project R-8164

Practice - Towards an artistic methodology of multisensorial learning (Research)

Traditionally, photography is perceived as a frame on our world that provides us with a sense of transparency. In contrast I want to redefine photography as performance and understand movement by means of choreography. In this research project I will investigate how these movements function as a fundamental basis for artistic practice and, more particularly, as a transit mode between multiple disciplines. The project is driven by the two-fold question: 'How do I move materials and how do they move me?'. Accordingly, it examines the tensions between stasis and movement, two- and threedimensionality, thus challenging and crossing the boundaries between media and disciplines: photography, sculpture, and choreography. Also, it questions how an image can translate or become 'body' and what happens if the starting point of our thinking is not the dichotomy between body and mind but rather the assemblage of ever-changing and moving bodies? The aim of this project is to develop tools with playful learning and to reach a closer understanding of body-based knowledge.
