MOVEMENT A © Ulf Langheinrich
MOVEMENT A s a work about trust and presence, states of movement, movement in movement.
Intentions are pointless, the next remains invisible, it comes too fast, too slow.
The body in all its empty endless movement eventually disappears.
As the floor starts to oscillate in breathe like slow cycles,
the body floats in myriads of projected noise-particles
and sinks into layers of a digital alluvium,
peters out, into final stillness and invisibility.
Everything dissolves into waves of pure light.
Ulf Langheinrich, Accra/July 2007
What does body know that is not on our consciousness?
Experiencing African life reminds me of the great power within the body and its sense of time. It is a human necessity of listening to the cell memories in order to survive, understanding their stories to stay alive, to love.
