inside:out
A collaboration of Adam Larsen and Sue Schroeder
inside: out reconstructs the dancing body via screen techniques - at times a construction of an impossible body, one unencumbered by gravity, temporal restraints. inside:out invites investigation of movement and its permutations on a very intimate level via the very nature of the camera, with its capacity to zoom in and out and to focus tightly in a very small area. A site-specific practice, inside:out is a hybrid form in which the camera may be thought of as the site, constantly shifting and creating an ever fluid definition of place and time. The moving body is the architecture against and through which the audience perceives the work.
