Floating Point: Waves

LEIMAY

An installation of strings and water, real-time video, live electronic music, and Butoh converge in a stunning, seamless landscape. In Floating Point Waves, LEIMAY explores the unstable and interconnected nature of our world. Every motion of the dance is reflected in the surface of water, creating waves, which in turn, affect the light and projected image. The dance emerges as an interplay between the body and water; heightening the perception of water inside our body. Projected video creates forms of light that function as visual music. The world transforms until our only standing point is instability and we are but an interconnected floating point.

Emerged from the installation series Floating Point
