A Portrait (of a building)

A Portrait (of a building) is a video work in collaboration with the artist Ryan Hollaway (USA) within the spaces of Hangar during their stay at the Lisbon artists’ residency. The four hands’ work portrays Ryan moving his body within the building. The camera follows the friction, interaction and adaptation of the moving body in the architecture. Through multiple images both the body and the building align in creating one image. The movement of Ryan’s dance questions the fixed lines of the building while inspecting a principle of dynamism. An osmotic exchange between the body and the building occurs.
