THESE NOTES ARE STILL IN PROGRESS

The space of KARST has a strong structure and asked for a response to its rhythm. 

Column | square | light

Bringing my current research focuses to the space demanded a physical response prior to install. For this I decided to carry out a sequence of actions that progressed through the central passage of KARST. This initial impulse was developed into a continuous zig zag incorporating each column. Fusing recent work with Chroma-key to those using folded fabrics to frame gesture, the action began shrouded in green cloth working towards an assemblage presenting my shaven right leg dangling from a barrel.

To answer the rigid structure of KARST i decided upon a set of defined constrains for exercises carried out within the space:

• At any given time, only one limb to be visible / exterior to the green cloth
• Each column visited would present an object
• Each object would be included in the unfolding journey
• Each object would interact with the previous one (cloth-hand-tape-hand-cloth-hand-glass-hand-pigment-hand-razor-glass-hand-cloth-leg-cloth-razor-leg-razor-glass-razor-leg
• leg-cloth-leg-cloth-leg-barrel-leg-cloth-leg-barrel-leg

This developed in realtimespace as various factors imposed upon the system planned

Slipped into the form of a question this statement enables seepage between the modes and limits of identity here.
