Circular Paths迴
Circular Paths is a performative installation, or installative performance, by Sharon Chan and Charles Kwong, and the most extensive gathering of the duo's practice to date. Kunstraum ZHdK becomes a site-specific environment in which body, mass, feedback and material trace are tested in real time. The room turns into an acoustic, undetermined territory with a life of its own, governed by numerous circular paths. The piece does not end: the final walk leads back to the threshold, and everything begins again.
It begins before the arrival. Am I the subject entering this space, or is the threshold the subject admitting me.
