A study on lines. I measured the outline of my body —1133 cm— and translated this to a metal loop to study flows of movement in spaces which I encountered everyday in the art academy. As a simple form that has the quality to create volume without having any mass, the line is a minimal intervention that has a big impact on human behavior.Line

Researching the impact of the line in the experience of an empty room. The gallery spaces of KABK are dissected by a wall and connected by the absence of a wall. This absence can be perceived as a transition space between the two galleries, marked by the thickness of the wall. There is nothing in the rooms but myself, Elisa and a camera. The temperature is neutral. The sounds from outside are minimal. The sounds from inside echo due to the high ceilings and lack of sound absorbing materials. In these rooms, with walls, a floor and a ceiling, Elisa focussed on her physical experience of the space and how her sensations affected her bodily movements. She approached with curiosity, wandered around, and was careful at first. She felt a sense of emptiness resulting in physical discomfort and yearned for a sense of safety in staying close to the walls, in the corners and transition space.
