video installation, collaboration with video artist Anne Quirynen
2014
SHIFTING THE BURDEN is a collaboration between the video artist Anne Quirynen and the choreographer Ian Kaler. The joint project originates from a reserach on perception of movement from one artistic language to another and from one work to another. One sees a figure inscribing a figure. The installation shifts continuously between different media: painting, video art and choreography. The body – projected on a black surface – is caught in a frame. It seems to be deprived of physicality and is accompanied by the sound of someone trying to draw and follow the movement, knowing one can only fail to see and hear motion.
