What is place? What is space? What is time? How do we explore and and see our self in these contexts. During this workshop I have explored what place, space and time mean.
How we relate to a both a physical place and a place of collaboration, the place that is activated between people. That place can relate to space and time. How there can be a transformation going back and forward, up and down, and how I intervene and move quite freely between these different places. How a space can move through time, as a memory, how time can be more like a feeling, or a specific smell that takes you somewhere known or unknown. How time and transformation evolves through process.
Through a lot of playful experiments with place and transformation, we explored the idea of physically representing ”time” and ”transformation,” this became one of the main subjects of our investigation. For example, we timed and measured different actions, like blowing a glass bubble or blowing up a balloon. We tried in a sort of scientific way, to create a catalog of these actions and the feelings that accompany them. For example, we recorded how long it felt like it took to move a part of the wooden factory floor and switch it with a piece of grass. We were interested in what the specific time of that action felt like, and what kind of space it created when the viewer explored this transformation. The sensation of experiencing something known and familiar exposed in an unexpected way, takes you to a new place, a place as matter.
