Variations On Broken Lines

Variations On Broken Lines is a site-specific multimedia installation consisting of screendance works: multi-channel projection, sound, moving-image sculpture and objects. Screendance vignettes, each with a different movement and temporality qualities, are projected simultaneously onto and across multiple surfaces, rendering forms, light, and gestures fleeting and ephemeral.

The screendance works project through a holographic panel hanging from the ceiling at the centre of the gallery. The projection appears and penetrates simultaneously through the holographic surface, rendering fragments of projection that briefly travel and dissolve on the gallery walls and objects.

On the opposite corner of the gallery is a four-minute-long, looped, moving-image sculpture titled Möbius, composed of black plastic, a monitor and a mirror.
