Hyphenated score, 2022
Centrale Fies (IT)
Multimedia installation, 22’00’’
[1] In Hyphenated Score, the visitors first encounter two relief sculptures, free-standing in space, as well as a rhythmic sound, and another wax sculpture hanging from the ceiling framing a video display. The sculptural forms serve the performer as a visual score guiding dancerly movement.
[2] The accompanying spoken text tells of touch: the appropriation of “untouched land,” a touch through the eyes violently scanning “the other.” Hyphenated Score imagines a way of dealing with and accessing one’s environment based on the principle of a dance score. Rather than attempting to create a uniform, to-scale representation of landscapes, bodies, or movements, this approach is about the act of convergence. Scores create relationality: between bodies, objects, and their exteriority. A score is a means to learn more about the interrelationship between oneself and the world.
