Walk - turn - run backwards
Walk - turn - run backwards
Walk - turn - run backwards...
The first impulse defines the second, that defines the third, and so on...
Following the dynamic of a pendulum, swinging one way and then the other, the end of each movement is the beginning of the next. But here, the movements face each other, looking towards the space where the body no longer is while going towards where it is not yet. The body is present in passing, leaving space behind. Moving along, running backwards and forwards, the body draws a line in space. With repetition, the line becomes a timeline. And over time, the timeline reveals the body's experience of this line: it gets out of breath, it tires, it sweats.
The linear movement of the pendulum is a system that the body plays with, goes up against and also endures. But, a body doesn't fit in a line. Slowly, the breadth of the body becomes clear - intentions, emotions, projections, breath... The body calls upon volume, intensities and the breadth of its experiences. The experience of a line exceeds the line.
