In The Two Channels, I explore the inverse relationship between photography and dance performance. While photographs traditionally serve as static records capturing moments from a dance performance, this work deliberately reverses this dynamic.
The installation presents two parallel video channels. The first displays three still photographs taken during my improvisation sessions, arranged in a rhythmic sequence. The second channel shows the dance movements as I explore the transitional possibilities between these fixed photographic moments.
By using photographs as the starting point for choreography rather than as documentation, this work challenges viewers to reconsider the relationship between still and moving images. The juxtaposition of the two channels—static photographs alongside fluid movement—creates a dialogue about how we perceive, record, and reconstruct physical expression through different media.
This experimental approach transforms photographs from mere documentation into generative tools for new movement creation, inviting audiences to witness the creative process of finding pathways between captured moments and reimagining how dance and photography can interact.
