About this work

Performance Projection’ using 2 pendulums driven by motors fixed to the ceiling that swing continuously in and out of rhythm with each other. On the end of each pendulum is a micro projector each projecting independent digital videos onto a circular projection surface on the floor. The images show 2 dancers that move across the projection space, at times seeming to interact with each other. A pianist and cellist improvise to the movement of the pendulums, the overlapping of the projections and the interaction of the audience.
