18 min video loop and drawings

The artist herself acts in front of the camera. She is dressed and moves like a dancer.  The movement is created trough transitions from various classical model poses copied from fashion magazines. We see outlines for a choreography, but the movement can also be likened to the kinds of patterns used in martial arts to memorize the positions of the different techniques. The installation is part of an on going project about the model (person) and the performance (performative).

Kata (型 or 形 literally: "form") is a Japanese word describing detailed choreographed patterns of movements practised either solo or in pairs. The term form is used for the corresponding concept in non-Japanese martial arts in general. (www.wikipedia.org 2012-01-17 20.05 CET)
