A Single Glass of Water Lights up the World

Synopsis

This current work continues to explore the interrelation between body, space and movements. Conceptualized as a split-screen projection. A naked female figure enters into the low-lit studio space and starts a playful improvisation triggered by her magnified reflection projected on the floor. The work explores the complexity of reality and space. The place of the body in a fragmented multi-layered world. The piece has been inspired by Jean Cocteau's 'Orphee' (1950).
