Projects
Me - every body + Movement drawings. 2002 - 2009.
"Me - every body", performance. The structure of movement and the body's simple complexity. Nine sequences dissect the movement in shape and time for the stage and the exhibition space, where the body is central for the work.
As a further layer the series "Movement drawings" is created, where several sequences are further developed into video work and images. The series moves closer to the surface of the skin and movement.
"Me- every body" and "Movement drawing" is a transnational collaboration project by Olof Persson with Robin Rimbaud / Scanner, Helena Fredriksson / H Fredriksson, Pierre Proske / Grimus, Lina Räftegård, Mike Skinner, Rebecca Evanne, Jean-Louis Huhta, Madeleine Strandberg, Hannes Andreasson Boisjö and Lisa Sandström.
