sway

“Sway” is a four-channel composition with video that explores the fragile balance between permanence and being lost. The work departs from an external point of view and zooms inward: the visual material begins with everyday footage, which is mapped onto three-dimensional forms in a visual programming environment, distorted, and spatially reorganized. A virtual camera then re-films these generated structures from both outside and inside. In this way, microstructures, lines, textures, and motifs emerge that oscillate between the real and the abstract. Images in which the familiar briefly appears, only to dissolve again.
The sound follows this process of transformation. Everyday, machine-based field recordings are layered, fragmented, and collaged. Their original character gradually changes and slowly dissolves into harmonic clusters. Musical frictions and shimmering interferences create spaces in which the material itself becomes memory. In this way, “Sway” explores the fragile construction of our inner memory — an oscillation between familiarity and abstraction.
The object can be circled, allowing the work to be experienced from shifting perspectives. As a result, image, space, and movement are continuously reconfigured.
