Variations on Broken Lines

2020

Variations on Broken Lines is a site-specific multimedia installation consisting of screendance works: multi-channel projection, sound, moving-image sculpture, objects, and sound. Screendance vignettes, each with different movement and temporal qualities, are projected simultaneously onto and across multiple surfaces, rendering forms, light, and gestures fleeting, ephemeral.

The screendance works are projected through a holographic panel hanging from the ceiling at the centre of the gallery. The projection appears and penetrates simultaneously through the holographic surface, rendering fragments of the image that briefly travel and dissolve on the gallery walls and objects.

On the opposite corner of the gallery is a four-minute-long, looped, moving-image sculpture titled Möbius, composed of black plastic, a monitor, and a mirror.
