LOOMING

What appears singular is not fixed.

LOOMING develops from an ongoing practice working with states and through shifts like cuts in a film where scenes collide and slip out of sync. A cinematic structure closer to editing than continuity.

The work is organised through conditions that emerge and remain in proximity – never fully arriving, never fully resolving. Situations build and interfere with perception and orientation.

Composure holds.

The practice operates between intuitive world-building and precise compositional structures. Images are treated as active conditions rather than representations.

A figure begins to split.

LOOMING is part of the graduation performances from the Master’s Program in Choregraphy at Den Danske Scenekunstskole.
