JUST A MOMENT BEFORE

 

´I´m interested in capturing the movement and its possible history just a moment before it dissapears,

the idea of becoming the spectator of my own traces.’ Interview with Olga Mesa

A woman is trying to see where she was five seconds ago; trying to trace her movements, her every step. The story changes every five seconds. How many movements can she fit into five seconds? What is the longest step she can take before being filmed again? Where willshe be in the next shot?

Creation composed by a performance and an installation that is part of the series `Dwelling a place’

I N S T A L L A T I O N ' Crowded Sofa'

The performer invites guests to sit on a sofa and talk to her while pictures of them are being taken and projected at the same time.
