FormBodyMaterials highlights a living material as both static and dynamic—integral to the ongoing dialogue between body and environment. Minimalist elements, such as the dancer’s movements and the imprints of an environment, underscore the fluidity and impermanence of form.

 

FormBodyMaterials is a collaborative project by a dancer and a scenographer that explores the relationship between body and material.  

 

On a microscopic scale, Washi, traditional Japanese paper, is composed of individual fibres, each one like a living cell in a larger body. When these cells converge, they give rise to form, to structure. Washi’s cultural significance and versatility makes it an ideal medium for exploring form and impermanence. Its historical use in both art and everyday life bridges past and present.​
