A series of short videos are made by taking familiar movements with conventional associations, then putting a simplified and choreographed version of them in a neutral context. The emphasis is on the movements and the message they communicate rather than the identity of the body. Each video is titled after the number of physical bodies involved, adopting the system of John Cage’s Number Pieces. For instance, Two 1 is the first video featuring two bodies.
This project was made possible by the support of the Amsterdam Fonds voor de Kunst.
