floating lines going for a walk

a performance work within the exhibition of “The whole world a Bauhaus”

“A drawing is simply a line going for a walk.”
Paul Klee, Pedagogical Sketchbook

floating lines going for a walk is a durational performance featuring two dancers and several linear and circular white metal objects that move freely within the exhibition “The Whole World a Bauhaus.”
This immersive performance offers an opportunity to closely observe a laboratory-like situation in which the dancers explore the relationship between their bodies and flexible, tensioned objects. The work is primarily inspired by the themes of the exhibition – floating and experimentation – as well as ideas from Bauhaus pedagogy, particularly the introductory courses and material studies focused on tension and balance.
In this intimate setting, lines and circles take center stage, along with their transformation from two-dimensional to three-dimensional forms – in a broader sense, the transition from drawing to sculpture – offering the audience a contemporary perspective on the artistic process.
