code and shadow; reverse TRIO

Lena Grossmann, 2020

This book contains a sign system and its execution using 64 signs that describe everyday body positions and displacement activities. Universal movement language becomes a readable code, a language that structures social environments. Distance, proximity, separateness, dialogue and mimetic references etc. are communicated and create room for actions, whereby the body is the memory of knowledge. The signs function as an accumulation of anatomical as well as psycho-social relations and characteristics of the individual movements and thus form object character. The focus within the movement can vary constantly. System and signs serve as form and archive of the performance code and shadow; reverse TRIO.

This book was published on the occasion of the performance code and shadow; reverse TRIO in January 2020 at Kunstraum München.
