Work around the body and its limits, the notion of human scale, speed, and decomposition

‍

Exercise in designing sculptures based on capturing sequences of human movements in space and time. This hybrid project, at the intersection of performance, dance, and visual arts, explores the interpretation of body language through the prism of choreography by Korean dancer Lia Kim to the music "Chandelier" by Sia.

In this exercise, I opted for the technique of chronophotography, which involves capturing a succession of images at regular intervals to study movement in sequence. The performance was broken down into 40 frames, with each image becoming a key element of the design process.

These sequences were then inserted into a three-dimensional space, where they were connected, deformed, and manipulated to create a unique object, an organic form where the original movements remain perceptible. This approach translated the shapes and movements of the human body into captivating energetic spaces.

Through this transposition work, the objective was to capture the essence of the choreography in a single physical and tangible entity, creating an experience where the body seems to be frozen in a captivating moment of expression while remaining palpable to the viewer.
