The core idea of this performance installation is a mathematical concept. A simple cube is taken as a starting point and is multiplied like a ‘stacking algorithm’ to generate a pyramid. This pyramid is a tiny work of architecture that the wearer of this dress inhabits. Our ancient idea of pyramids is that of a final resting place, a static monument fixed at a location, but the very idea of the pyramid talks of transcending from the physical realm to another dimension. What if we could carry the spaces we inhabit with us? What if we could move those spaces as they move us? The work is an exploration of ‘Kinetic Architecture'.
