Between
online interactive performance by Howool Baek
(FOR LINK TO PERFORMANCE BETWEEN PLEASE SCROLL DOWN)
The earth is a part of the universe, and the universe is conversely a part of the earth. The surface of the earth is on the one hand an explicit border between the earth and the universe and on the other hand they include each other. The process of this spatial transition repeats itself infinitely.
On this basis, the segmented parts of a human body can move freely as if they were countless fragments in space.
Howool Baek has been interested in the theme of repetition and transformation and has developed her new choreographic work Between as an interactive web performance in collaboration with her artist colleagues Matthias Erian and Jin Lee. The audience enters the virtual online space as a subjective, autonomous player and moves there freely by means of mouse and keyboard interactions.
In this sense, Between aesthetically and technically reflects our zeitgeist: the digital age.

Already in 2015 Howool Baek showed her dance performance Did U Hear in the former performance art depot as part of the “dance weekend” and – together with Matthias Erian (sounds, video projection) – fascinated the audience with her minimalist and hypnotic choreography.
At the Out Of Space Festival we present Howool Baek with her interactive online performance, which she developed together with Matthias Erian during the pandemic period.
