5 Spaces

The 5 Spaces with 5 Dancers project- or to speak in simple and minimalistic architectural terms 5 rooms and 5 inhabitants - got realized in 1991.

The spaces or rather the rooms were made from strips of plywood to form the contours of each room. These contours were each painted a different color.
Each dancer had one space or to come back to the architectural term: one inhabitant per room. Dancer and space were painted in the same color.
The rooms were not exactly rectangular and they were not connected in a traditional logical way: all rooms intersected each other; all dancers moved through all rooms.

The whole installation took place where I got my degree at the Department of Architecture from the University of Delft some years before.
