Eye-Height

Research Title: “Crystal image – beyond metaphor: analysis of movement perception in interdisciplinary artistic work”.My research focus on the possible relationship between, what as been identified as the crystal image or time image in cinema by Deleuze (Cinema 2, French 1985), and the possible application of its conceptual aspects to interdisciplinary composition, within the areas of dance, sound and fine arts. This research being a practice based one, has both a theoretic as well as a practical approach; several experiments within performance have been taking part over the past three years culminating now in the performance “Eye-Eight”. The performance has been developed in collaboration with other artists and presented both in academic and professional artistic contexts.

Keywords: interdisciplinary artistic collaboration (dance, music, fine art)
