FORSØGSDYR I RUMLIG FORTÆTNING
(OR LAB ANIMALS IN SPACIAL DENSITY)
WAS aAN INTERDISCIPLINARY PIECE CREATED FOR INTERACT -
VESTERBRO KUNST FESTIVAL MAY 2009 IN COPENHAGEN.

POINT OF DEPARTURE FOR THE FESTIVAL AND THEREFORE ALSO FOR THE CREATION PROCESS WAS: INTERACTION. ARTISTS FROM MANY DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES WERE INVITED TO CHALLENGE EACH OTHER BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THE FESTIVAL.
THIS WAS HOW ARCHITECTS MIA SCHEEL & MARIA WALTHERS INSTALLATION “RUMLIG FORTÆTNING” (OR SPACIAL DENSITY) BECAME THE PHYSICAL FRAMEWORK AND SCENOGRAPHY FOR THE PIECE.
THIS INSTALLATION CONSISTED OF NUMEROUS ORAGE STRINGS STRETCHED OUT FROM FLOOR TO CEILING. THE INTERACTION WITH THIS SCENOGRAPHY PROVIDED THE PIECE WITH A CLEAR MOVEMENT LANGUAGE DOMINATED BY SPACIAL RESTRICTIONS. THE RESTRICTED MOVEMENT DOMINATING THE PIECE RESONATED IN THE CREATION PROCESS AND SOON BECAME A GENERAL CONCEPT IN THE MAKING.
