description :

”dePlaced” is a combination of one performance-piece and  several video-pieces, hence definable as an interdisciplinary project consisting of a number of internally related elements.

Using a fundamental theme about ”displacement” (here understood in relation to the position in social and metaphysical structures that every single human experiences), a seria of sound-, video- and corporal sequences that are turned into a half-hour long performance is presented.
The interrelation between video and body is forming a central part of the piece. Video works are creating a frame for the performance. Thereupon situations emerge where the artists interact with the video and the audience.
Sound, video, performance, installation and text are melting together in a multimedia project that, besides treating a theme, is an artistic experiment.
 
Next to executing a performance at the opening, Bella Angora and Christian Falsnaes produces a row of  video-pieces that are integrated in sculptural installations which, along with a documentation of the performance, are exhibited.
Every one of the videos creates an extra level in the universe that the “dePlaced” project constitutes and they are based on the same visual and thematic starting point.

The title, ”de-Placed”, is an invented expression referring to space/place in life and de-construction.


object :

Generally, Bella Angora and Christian Falsnaes are working on twisting the common perception of reality and the system of norms, patterns and social interaction that controls it. Through this process, the object is to create a critique of values that are often presented as being objective true, and to produce an image of an utopia universe where everyone are co-creating reality through open interaction and active positioning.

“dePlaced” is, more concrete, an attempt to visualize an often repressed feeling of being displaced in reality, in body, in gender and in the consisting system of patterns. At the same time, “dePlaced” is an attempt to give a proposal on the role of performance art in contemporary society. A society where the limits between different instances of communication and art are crossed and new forms of expression arises in this crossing point.
