MYR Anemoi

About

At the centre of the performance lies a textile sculpture created by Isabel Castro-Jung. Crafted in the shape of a dress and meticulously fashioned from sailing cloth, the sculpture symbolises the wind energy of a sail, evoking the essence of nomadism, migration, and travel. As Castro Jung animates this versatile piece during the performance, an inhabited landscape, both strange and unknown, unfolds in an abstract narrative. The fluidity of the shifting shapes embodies the passage of time, and movement encounters obstacles and challenges that encourage our inherent need to adapt to new environments.

Janus' projections enrich the performance, by visually depicting the central themes in her work. Her new films explore ideas of impermanence and time through chemical reactions. Venturing beyond human timelines and timescales, Janus delves into the concept of MYR, derived from the geological term 'million years'. Through the use of acids, salts, prehistoric rocks, metals and traces of meteorite dust she reflects on the passage of time, extending far beyond the human lifespan.

The sensory impact of the performance is amplified by Holition, pioneering the integration of the dress and projections through live mapping and animation. Providing a mesmerising interplay of simultaneous time scales are compositions and musical improvisations by singer Atsuko Kamura, artist Manuel Calvo and sound artist Noah Berrie.
