In time over time
In time over time proliferates the film In time. from the solo I Ti. (2001)
The In time film showed two hands ‘finger-dancing’ a firmament over a table. Here, the dancing spreads to several hands, fingers over time overlapping trajectories. The piece also resumes the floor sequence from the piece my lips (from speaking) (2000), which shapes, and dynamics stands as models for the finger dance.
Both pieces deal with the concept of time as a series of space-less peak of intensities, discontinuous and yet linearly aligned. Both employ dancing as a polymorph, polyglot scripture, specifically, as an ecriture feminine on the move. Rigorous in concept, illimited in appearance. A strategy of speaking, stating minimal difference in kind. A dancing graphing leaving a ragbag of traces behind.
