In
March 2009 the project started at Song Mountain, a mountain range which lies
on the southern bank of the Yellow River in China. It will mainly
revolve around martial arts and religion in the form of performance,
choreography, group, landscape and setting. The project is interested
in a correlation between geography and choreography. The approach will
be like making an inventory bound by the time of one month aiming to
reveal inspiring figures and shapes and form stories of interest.
My
aims and interests are to observe large scale pattern and choreography
in the form of martial arts and industrial sites on a location that is
concidered 'energetic'.
The landscape of Song-mountain is
characteristic and pronounced. Apart from religion and martial arts,
the naturally rich soil has also produced industry. This industry has
significantly changed the lay out of the landscape. This makes the
interaction between the surroundings and the industry visible and
concrete. The interface between surroundings and industry has
stipulated the patterns of and the figures in the lay out. This lay out
or composition that evolves and transforms, sometimes gradual,
sometimes radical, can be seen as a form of choreography. The
industrial sites are set up and organised in the way that the division
and structure of the soil has indicated it.
