HERE
HERE is a live installation composed of a four-hour loop that repeats itself based on the opening hours of the hosting institution, inviting visitors to share time and presence with six dancers. For the duration of several weeks the dancers navigate a choreography that unfolds at a decelerated pace within a golden sculptural environment. Embedded in a sound composition, a female voice fades in and out, counting the seconds passing by, from 1 to 14,399, underlining the eternal succession of time.Immersed in this steady continuum, the dancers’ movements create a situation of everchanging presence, one that demonstrates the slippery nature of “here-ness”.
