Moving the Coordinates - Exhibition
About this event
Moving the Coordinates is a performance-installation exhibition that invites audiences to imagine new ways of living within changing landscapes. Combining choreography, technology and film, the work creates a shared space to reflect on how we inhabit environments in transformation and to explore new possibilities for adapting to climate change.
Audiences will be invited to use their mobile phones to interact with the installation’s films, unlocking layers of movement, sound, and perspective that deepen the immersive experience of the work.
Join us for the live opening event; a 30-minute performative presentation launches the installation.
What to expect
- Film Collage Installation. A large-scale film collage runs continuously throughout the day, weaving together short dance films created by artists and communities from around the world. The collage reflects on how landscapes are shifting under the pressures of climate change and explores how movement can help us adapt, respond, and build a sense of connection across distant geographies.
- Contextual Screening. One film screening featuring the three foundational short films, offering insight into the choreographic process, revealing how the work was conceived, created, and developed through global collaboration.
- Interactive Poster Presentations. Each poster integrates immersive augmented-reality technology. When scanned with a mobile phone, the posters reveal behind-the-scenes footage, rehearsals, and fragments of choreography recorded in diverse locations around the world—allowing audiences to experience the making of the work in a new, interactive dimension.
