Low Eyes & Loopholes – 23 · Degrees

Description

Excerpt from the video of this work. The full video comes only with the work.

Each work is unique, from a closed series of 94: a pencil drawing on paper (41.8 × 59.5 cm) and the video of its making. Drawing and video together form one work.

The full video exists only with the work. I never publish it in full; publicly I only show short excerpts.

You receive the video by download link within one day of your purchase. The parcel also contains a USB stick with the video and a certificate of authenticity.

Signed on the back.

Concept: Degrees

Orientation in fixed angles: 90°, 180° or over 180°. In Breaking, mastering your own orientation is a core skill: in a battle, moves are aimed at the opponent and at the same time at the judges and the audience; in a cypher, people stand all around. The exercise sharpens spatial imagination. Orientation is also a means of storytelling: depending on how a move, a sequence or an energy is directed, it is perceived differently. Some moves can only be read clearly from one direction. This also changes their meaning within a “story”.
