Proyecto: Shifted

Overcoming internal chaos, opening my eyes. I am what I think. What I see I imagine. Who is the other but a reflection of myself? I run away from me, but I find myself again, the other in me.

Proyecto: Unsync

Experimenting with multiple stacks of un-synchronized layers. 2016

A single video source of a dance routine, passed through several ‘failing’ video filters,

Inserted and joined together. Resulting with the creation of a new ‘glitch’d choreography’.

Proyecto: Inside-Outside 	   

The video deals about in a metaphoric way about identity in the context of inner strife, inner emigration, transition, space, time and sexuality. The concept is expressed partly by modern dance performance.

The nakedness of the dancer is a metaphor for our very own identity so as we are, not hidden and covered by clothes and symbols of status.

The video is a collaboration work of Johannes Gérard (The Hague/Netherland & Berlin, Germany) and solo dancer Hsin Ying Tsai (Tainan, Taiwan)

Proyecto: Body of Knowledge    	 	 	 	 	 	   

Summary In my experience, almost everyone who grows up in Asia, especially in Taiwan, is under academic pressure. There is keen competition surrounding academic performance. We are expected to go to the library, study and research, gather knowledge and obtain higher educational degrees over taking part in regular physical exercise.

Body of Knowledge can be seen as mimic ontology for this observation, or, otherwise described, a playful study through its representation in dance of the phenomenon of competitive pursuit of knowledge and its relation to the underlying principles of human experience.

The concept of Body of Knowledge draws from the interplay between the sum of immaterial and evolving human knowledge and its physical manifestations that propel human progress. These physical manifestations can be represented by the expressions of the human body. By using the body in this way we counter the utilitarian attainment of knowledge – our purpose is reflective, unnecessary. In this way my film is more than a collection of physical terms and corporal information, or a reading list of flesh and blood.

Proyecto: The dance

Le Bal is developed from footage produced by an insurance company in the 1950s to praise their postwar participation in the rebuilding of my grandmother’s village in Belgium. Different technological and technical layers (the images were shot on film, broadcast on television, taped on VHS and finally converted to digital) blur the memory of a dance whose participants are unknown. Ghostly faces interweave, interlace and circle, brushing past the camera and staring at us, before disappearing in the dark.

Proyecto: Fence

Three women are sunbathing in the city, standing against a fence above a soccer field. I asked them to pay attention to sound and the feeling of the air on the skin and caressing sunlight. For a few moments, a silent dialogue happens between them and the urban environment.
