Turning the Place Over
2007
architectural installation

“An ovoid cut from the façade of a building in Liverpool and made to oscillate in three dimensions. The revolving façade rests on a specially designed giant rotator, usually used in the shipping and nuclear industries, and acts as a huge opening and closing window, offering recurrent glimpses of the interior during its constant cycle during daylight hours.”

“See and be seen. Interpolate and interpellate. In an explicit gesture to Duchamp and the Russian Futurists, the Department of Biological Flow offers ICQ (Inverted Cubofuturist Query), a performance that reconsiders the question of tempo in public space and interrogates opportunities for movement in the contemporary vision machine.”

Program:
1. Plug kinoderm tail appendage into faux kino-gait transcribing device.
2. Begin walking staircase. Ensure a steady rhythm.
3. Using surgical devices at hand (scissors, small garden shears, Japanese band saw, large BBQ knife), cut away from kinoderm while walking up stairs.
4. If gait slows down too much, cease cutting and resume steady rhythm.
5. The performance ends once the artist has cut free from the kinoderm and fled the gaze.

Rotas de Fuga (Vanishing Routes)

three-channel video, looped
2’44”

Vídeo em 3 canais realizado para a exposição BANCO DE TEMPO, de Patricia Gouvêa e Isabel Löfgren, para a Série DUPLAS, Galeria do Lago e Jardim da República (Museu da República).
Em “Rotas de fuga” as artistas não só andam pelo parque, mas também andam entre uma projeção e outra, de imagem em imagem, como sobre uma fita de moebius. Com as perspectivas do parque como pano de fundo, trocam uma mala de mãos. Nunca habitam a mesma imagem ao mesmo tempo, devido ao fato de raramente estarem na mesma cidade juntas, mas mesmo assim trocando experiências ao longo do tempo, desde que começaram a trabalhar em parceria em 2005.
