WWTTWWTTC (Who We Talk To When We Talk To Cameras) (2019)

‘WWTTWWTTC’ is a dance-performance about contemporary camera technology and how our bodies interact with it. Whether it be via the gesture of holding up a smartphone and filming one’s self, or the bio-chemical relationships we have to seeing someone’s eyes on a YouTube video, we are all relating in some way or another to cameras. The process of rehearsal and research for WWTTWWTTC has quickly turned into its own strange video material, floating somewhere in the cloud, multiplying the performers presences throughout a multitude of screens. 

WWTTWWTTC originally was intended as a solo project, but a chance encounter with designer/choreographer Jorge Guevara soon turned into a collaboration, and the piece is slowly evolving to become a multimedia dance performance, with live video projection, movement material and IOT (internet of things) based scenography. In the meantime, the duo has been exploring the different effects of adding cameras to the choreographic process by filming themselves from multiple angles and editing in various ways.

Other offshoots have been a classes given to high-school students, as well as a month of residency at the Titanik Galleria in Turku, Finland. A lecture-performance based on this material has also been performed in 2022 for the ZHDK in Zurich as part of a symposium on didactics.
