Thinking-through images
(2023)
[Performance in collaboration with Tala Lee-Turton and Xenia Bakshinskaya]
‘Thinking-through images’ is a live dance intervention from Creative Producer and dancer Tala Lee-Turton and Creative Photographer Xenia Bakshinskaya in collaboration with and in response to Zara Worth’s installation Think of a door (temptation/redemption). Over the course of the day Lee-Turton and Bakshinskaya will use movement and live image-making to catalyse the installation’s potential for participation. Informed by detailed hand movement that Lee-Turton draws upon from an array of contemporary dance practitioners, and by posing, in the contexts of vogue, ballet and yoga, the performances will manifest elements of the installation’s imagery, borrowing hand gestures from the religious architecture, icons and social media content which are combined within Worth’s sculptural and pictorial compositions. Through simultaneous image capture including Instagram live recordings, photography and videography, ‘Thinking-through images’ reveals Worth’s installation as an image to be participated in.
