About the piece

“Thin Skin” is a meditative work on a “moving” installation.

The world as a graphic model, a landscape of lines.

Metal rods are intertwined in space with the bodies of the performers, who sensitively receive the physical responses of the material–their partner.

Moving sculptures appear and disappear. Their archetypal skeletons can be wrapped in meaning or just be left to flow. The body imprints itself on the material, the image on the mind, time bends.

This “intuitive physics” demonstrates the most basic principles of being in Earth’s gravitational field.
