Description

We were looking at three 1923 paintings by László Moholy-Nagy: “EM 1,” “EM 2,” and “EM 3”. They’re simple geometrical compositions. What’s curious is the fact that they were made through instructions given over the telephone. Of course, Art history understands this gesture on their own terms, but we like making our own interpretations. For us, these works were pioneering explorations of distance and creation, combining the bodies of the artist and the person that physically executed the work. With those pieces in mind, and still far apart, we set out to experiment with shooting similar actions in different contexts, guiding each other through video calls. Can the instructions be unclear? What happens if the two actions are different? And most importantly, what happens when actions and spaces are intertwined across distances? What ended up happening is that one action affected the other, even though they did not happen simultaneously. Fragmented, yet interconnected.
