DIggin’Up 2

Nested in the light installation Diggin’ Up 2 (Digital light/Absorption), the bodies and their presence become visible in a reversed way: instead of reflecting the light, they absorb it. The graph inside which these bodies register offers different outlines, different representational codes. The hypnotic aspect of this meeting invites the eye to measure
how relative the notion of space is.

With Diggin’ Up 2, Superamas dives into another space of representation. This time with a strong focus on the ambiguity of the performer’s ‘presence’. The performance/ installation can be played with and without performers. Do we still need ‘live’ performers? Or could we say that their representation is good enough to register their presence? Something comes up, fades away and finally returns… this is what the visitors are invited to experience.

In today’s distance free communication technologies, 3D images and avatars, Diggin’ Up 2 is an interactive sensual experience of a space in constant motion.
