Project description:
'Immovable Air' is video performance (composed by two videos) that investigates an interdependent relationship between body and space, throughout the dramaturgical analysis of Samuel Beckett’s novel 'Ill Seen Ill Said'. This piece of work was based on an attempt to embody the character’s physical condition and her relation with space. The notion of passivity and activity in Beckett’s text led me to explore the idea of movement and immobility in Immovable Air. The attempt was to investigate how the interaction between body and set could represent the relationship between the old woman from 'Ill Seen Ill Said' and the space she lived in.
Assuming that the transformation of the set was connect to the wind and to the body’s movement in Immovable Air I was investigating how the body could affect the space and how the space could affect the body, both in states of activity and passivity.
Immovable Air explores the significance of designing a set that interacts and dialogues with the body.
