A text constitutes the texture of this work, expanding into the space, while an impressive stage installation creates a dreamy perception. Wearing the Angles, Kissing the Room focuses on the momentum of bypassing in order to realign the orientation between bodies and constructed spaces, to create a different kind of orientation towards things. The bodies themselves become objects or sculpture, disorientation becomes an element of the body, converging the body with the building. We linger in this state in order to allow a different approach: an orientation on how we inhabit the space and how the space will dwell in bodies. The moment of losing oneself is staged in subtle nuances through purposeful disorientation.
