Spaces is an action questioning the co-relations of body, space and time. The drawing was a result of two durational performances. Later, the bridge allowed the viewers to enter the drawing, to experience the space and the drawing in a way I did.
The series present/absent consists of performative actions and sculptures and builds on the Spaces series. In the performances, the focus from depicting the reach of a body shifts to taking up an entire space through movement and drawing. In the sculptures, the surrounding area becomes part of the composition.
