The images of two prone bodies are projected onto a glass table covered with fine sand. Four dancer’s hands move the sand and thus manipulate the position, size and form of the projected bodies; they mutate into all kinds of bizarre shapes or even disappear completely when no more sand covers the glass. In Meg Stuart’s and the visual artist Magali Desbazeille’s video installation, first created for the site-specific project Highway 101, the solid body dissolves in movement and new, fascinating, disturbing or even disgusting images are created. When its foundations are liquefied, the image doesn’t remain a static object. The bodies lose their physical substance and, like the sand, change with every movement and perspective. © Damaged Goods — info@damagedgoods.be — +32 (0)2.513.25.40
