Kinetic Resonances: Installation Performance
Ximena Garnica + Shige Moriya & LEIMAY Ensemble
Chelsea Factory Residency
Ximena Garnica and Shige Moriya of LEIMAY bring their in-progress work Kinetic Resonances to Chelsea Factory. Kinetic Resonances is an immersive sculptural installation and a durational dance performance consisting of a series of kinetic string-sculptures powered by performers’ bodies. The work allows for multiple interplays between the environment, the materials of the body, and the sculpture. Performed by three members of the LEIMAY Ensemble, this work explores the relationship between space, materials, and bodies and how each is affected by the other revealing the physics of causality and potentials for interconnectivity.

Kinetic Resonances is being developed from LEIMAY’s past work: Qualia – Holometaboly, experienced at the historic Beaux Arts Court of the Brooklyn Museum, at the Watermill Center, and at the Cathedral without Religion created by the renowned Colombian architect Simon Velez. Now, it has been further invented for Chelsea Factory’s black box space.
Along with the Kinetic Resonances performance, the Chelsea Factory residency featured a Resonant Bodies Master Class led by Ximena and Shige.
