Week 1: Chisenhale Collaboration Commission

First day of the experimental collaboration with Victor Fung. Without an end goal in sight, we embarked on an organic series of experiments. Starting with a movement session (an enlightening experience for me, as it developed an awaress of my body and its relationship to space). In response to the session, I suggested including pigment to capture the movements and create layered imprints of the body.

Exploring multiple avenues, the day opened us both to new ways of thinking. Through discussions of material and the body, we investigated: Trace, Absence and Presence. Using studio studio materials that include Traditional Gesso, Graphite, and aluminium, we played with light sources and the body to create permanent and temporal paintings/ drawings as well as performances.
