It comprises two counter-opposed projections, mirroring one another, and depicting the figure of a Shaolin monk in his traditional orange robe, moving in from a distance. The two images differ only in that the one is a slightly more ethereal version of the other. The Shaolin monk's movement choreography is based on the Tai-Chi form. The space between the two projection screens is energized by the synchronized movements as he approaches, slowly moving closer and closer toward his ethereal self (in the opposite screen). The energy builds up as the movement becomes increasingly faster, and the choreography shifts seamlessly from Tai-Chi to Kung-Fu. The video is shot in front of the main gate of Berlin's Olympic Stadium, built 1934-6. Written by Danae Stratou See less
