nomadic bodies / nomadic territories

How do we trace movement, how does an individual locate themselves within the context, being in constant movement?
How does movement create its own nomadic space? We do act as mobile carriers of references and coordinates, interacting with both virtual and physical landscapes. Individuals positions within a bigger picture are multiple and in constant flux - to be renegotiated over and over again.This piece of work explores a human bodys (nomadic) movement. Its nature unfolds from the juxtaposition of two animations. Both deal with an individuals shifting between various interchangeable territories, occupying and navigating a mediascape.

 

ANIMATION 1
Actual space, geography has become interchangeable, insignifi cant, even unreal. The human body is seen as last real physical
entity. Can the human body, carrying these various virtual spaces, represent and experience these as a physical entity?

 

ANIMATION 2
What does a dérive look like in a space informed by the loss of a particular sole locality?
Rather than recording the actual, the animation generates fake landscapes imagined scapes, entirely made up.
Although seductive, poetic, exotic and uncanny, the landscapes are completely interchangeable.
What is actual space to us?

 

どうすれば自分の移動した形跡を記録できるだろうか。絶え間ない変移の中で、個人はどのように自分の存在を社会にコミットさせるのか。また、自分達の移動する空間はどのようにして創り上げられるのか。我々は、自分の存在を象る情報・接点を抱え、仮想と現実の世界を移動する。

広大な空間において個人の所在地は多面的な構造を持ち、恒常的に流動する。そして、その中で人は自分の現在位置を問い続ける。この作品は二つの映像作品を併置することを通じて、(浮遊する)身体の動作について検証する。二つの映像は描き出される架空の風景を介し、いくつもの領域を行き来する個人の存在を提示する。
