About Spacing in the Womb

The video Spacing in the Womb, (2014) is an extension of a video Body in Space. Showing the rising figure (my own body being painted with neon paint under UV florescent light). The body that was evolving slowly from the previous video is now formed as a whole, the body wanting to find its own space, reaching out and dealing with space and time. Forming a body language searching relation, connection and communication within itself as well with in it’s space. A gentle, delicate song from a childhood memory plays from a music box in the background.

The black and white trees, opposite like day and night, complement each other and emphasize the contrast of the painted body, representing the knowledge of all the elderly trees with their visible and hidden wisdom. It symbolizes the neural connections in the brain, showing how new connections can be built and renewed. The body wants to challenge the boundaries of space and explore the dimension and expansion until it settles back down into a fetal position, resting, breathing, back in its center, folded into itself, waiting to evolve again.
