KAHR. KARH. Spacifying – Part: Sewing Motion

Sewing Motion is a performative work that combines sewing performance, dance acts located in several different spaces, and video projection.

“
– If you think that this life is a bit like that.
– So, you have to be a little above yourself all the time in order to cope with things.
– Somehow relate to them.
– That there is always some problem that you have to react to.
– Collect.
You want to put things together, somehow keep them together.
– Like what do you have to cope with?
“

The interdisciplinary work by two performers asks where there is space and how do different art forms appear as spatial phenomena alone and in relation to each other? The project and working group’s joint conceptual work focused on examining spaces have clarified the themes of the work: the effort to keep everything together, reaching out to one another, and building together. The work has sparked a struggle between raw and funny on the one hand, and site and subject oriented art on the other.

In the performance, two art forms meet in an attempt to create a physical, visual and meditative weave that takes place in the moment.
