Spaces to Be Rehearsed
From: She Moves Me Performance, Moving Image, and Lynne Marsh’s Lens

Five takes on what seems like the same scene: the green screen–esque setup evokes a virtual film studio, symbolically equipped with the usual technology, where performers appear to be rehearsing gestures, poses, and sequences of movements against changing backgrounds. At times we see the performers in close-up fragments; at other times they dissolve in disorient­ing totality. The five-channel video installation Ninfa Atlas—the title alludes to Aby Warburg’s Bilderatlas Mnemosyne—casts these performers as contemporary nymphs in reproductions of architectural, urban, and natural landscapes.
