Octopus, 2020
Video + sound, 16:9 7'09"
[It only took a blink of an eye before someone noticed that we were actually moving. Moving]
Octopus explores how to be an audiovisual architecture that embodies four places, each with their own politics of movement: a film studio, a home in Brussels, a dance studio and the Frans Masereel Centrum, a center for contemporary art with a specific focus on printed matter.
By ‘recording’ the movement in these four spaces, we slowly destroyed the walls. The materials were used to build a new digital and transparent construction that embraces the fascinating characteristics of the medium video and its relationship with movement and time. How do you move as a spectator through this precarious digital building?
