room investigation by body and picture
29.10.2012: where I come from - and now?
I discover the diversity of architecture
in digital pictures disposing diverse blending modes
to analyse different layers of built room and pictorial space
I`m interested in an augmented matrix of rooms where the laws of nature are interviewed
(multiple perspectives, upside turns down, no gravity)
I focus on fragmentation and coverage, deconstruction and reassembly
surfaces as interfaces, interference of space and body
body serves as point of reference and originator:
gesture will provoke architectural changes
constructing as outcoming of body-focussed behaviour
random recording or choreographed performance?
story or just situations?
or no human body - just forms? → What initates transitions?
not just empty indoor rooms. closeups → structure
enter facades, streets (untravelled), squares (deserted).

I explore the diverse performances and each respective black box
frame by frame, move by move, angle by angle, side by side.
black box transformes from fixed five-sided thing to organic polygons
the animated space concurs with the body motions it encases
