Studies in motion #01

  • Giada Ghiringhelli
Video Installation, 15 individual images projected, USA/Switzerland, 2009
A series of images in motion presenting the same aesthetic qualities of paintings and discouraging narrative in the favour of contemplation.
They explore how the body moves in space through gestures and in time through transformation and question the relationship between stillness and motion.
The body and its parts move in the frame by repeating the same movement over and over again. Imprisoned in its own entropy, in that space that is both nest and grave, the body vibrates of life and constructs its own activity, unable to break its own limits and evade the space container confining its movements.
