total installation “STRING THEORY/INTERVENTION” in the choreographic performance “UNITY OF MATERIAL”, St. Petersburg, 2023

concept

String theory has powerful philosophical and imaginative implications. Defining the energy string as a building block of the universe allows us to build connections between unrelated environments, events and phenomena, expanding the field for creating new theories of perception of the world. If you imagine each relationship found in the form of a line, a string, then the algorithm for the interaction of various entities, systems and interests will look like a complex linear structure.

 project description

 The linear structure “invades” the dark space, divides it, and creates a new system of spatial connections. The state of space is dynamics, planned chaos. Directional light rays compete with material lines. Performative action develops in constantly changing light spaces. The light and sound environment in the installation serves as a navigator and catalyst for action.
