Spatial Interventions: Copenhagen, 2011, video (video still) "For their video project currently on display at alt_cph11 the twins have documented themselves exploring architectural spaces around Copenhagen. Their bodies become performative tools for measurement, mimicry or occupation of structures in the urban landscape. With an interest in ephemerality and embodied experience their physical gestures highlight a brief, but transformative interaction with each site." -catalog for alt_Cph11:ENCOUNTERS | |
Our Difference (in height and weight/in age), 2010, tungsten cube and silver sand timer This metal cube was fabricated to measure our exact difference in height and weight. This sand timer measures our exact difference in age. These sculptures are tiny monuments to represent our objective difference. | |
Balancing, Levitating, Opening (two cans of beer), 2010, 3-channel video (video still) In this video triptych two ordinary cans of beer are transformed into ephemeral sculptures through the act of drinking. The result is a series of poignant and playful studies of everyday objects imbued with a new life and form of their own. This piece reflects on the studio as a site for games, trials and tricks. |
