Position (III)
An audiovisual installation shaped through performance—where objects, sound, and spatial alignment form a landscape of individual positions within collective tension.
In this installation, sticks made of wood, iron, and plastic were thrown across the space during a live performance. Each material produced its own distinct sound upon impact, and the tone and duration of these sounds determined the timing of the next throw. The performance unfolded as an interplay between action, acoustics, and evolving spatial arrangement. The final installation consists of the sticks in their resting positions, a video documenting the performance, and a soundscape capturing the material resonances. Each element responds to the architecture and to one another, forming a sculptural landscape shaped by momentum, resistance, and relational positioning. The work emphasizes the individuality of each element and its role within the whole—offering a reflection on coexistence, interaction, and the dynamics of shared space.
Position (III)
This installation is the result of a performance in which sticks of various materials—including wood, iron, and plastic—were thrown into the space, each in response to the acoustic, spatial, and material conditions present at that moment. The work anticipates the architecture of the site and continues a line of investigations into process-based spatial composition.
Each material produced a distinct sound upon impact, shaped by its weight, form, and the surface it encountered. These sonic events guided the unfolding rhythm of the performance: the tone and duration of each sound determined the timing of the next gesture. In this way, the sequence became an audible manifestation of interaction—an evolving score shaped by cause and resonance.
The final spatial arrangement consists of three interrelated elements: the sticks as they remained after the performance; a projected video documenting the act of throwing; and an audio recording of the resulting soundscape. The video, placed above the physical installation, shows the process as it developed—including words that appear intermittently as reflective thoughts on the unfolding situation. During the 15-minute projection, the video and the physical residue appear to visually align— merging into a single image, blurring documentation and presence.
The position of each stick was determined not only by the gesture itself but also by the spatial configuration of those already present. While the performer maintained a degree of intentionality, the outcome remained open—allowing each stick to find its position through natural alignment shaped by momentum, gravity, and accumulated context.
The installation emphasizes the individuality of each material element and its role within a larger spatial and sonic field. Each object contributes a distinct tonal quality and physical presence, forming a landscape of autonomous positions embedded in mutual relation. The work reflects on larger social themes: individuality, coexistence, and the informal choreography of interdependent presences within a collective environment.
