SYNOPSIS

This work explores the fulfillment of the camera as an apparatus that captures and controls its subject. In the process, if the point of view(camera) is reduced, the unpredictabilities of 3 dimensions are extended on the contrary, and the possibilities on other sides infinitely increases.
This is to experience increase in thoughts and imagination from the audience as initial elements disappear and the repeated transformations gradually strengthen.
Movements are deconstructed and transformed through the eye of the camera, and the camera recomposes the choreography in various ways with its pan, zoom and focus.
Though the gaze of the camera continues to try and control and choreograph the movement, in places where the gaze cannot reach there becomes the inevitable ‘gap.’ Among these ‘gaps’new offerings discovered will cause uncertainties through the audience. And as this process layer; addition, deletion, distortion, transformation and more will occur; and movements will transform endlessly.
Utilizing the gap between the two different media-video and performance-that are with different spatial and time structure, this piece talks about the unpredictability derived from the difference between two dimension and the three dimension and its other sides. This work expands and adds on the experimentation of spatial expansion and the ‘gap’ where perception cannot reach to explore new possibilities.
