Knots


Coming up soon in Serbia, as verion #3. Started as an experimental dance film initiated by SpOp as a collaboration in times of Covid. The idea has been communicated with drawings, pictures, text and music pieces by Dirk Bruinsma. Dealing with connectivity, entanglement and barriers.
The material was sent from Rotterdam to Belgrade. Once in Belgrade video material was shot with the choreographies and improvisation by the talented Ana Obradović, Jovana Grujić and Nemanja Bošković. The camera work by Jovana Milovanović and Marko Segedinčev has been then again sent back to Rotterdam and has undergone to undergo a CGI and editing treatment, resulting in the final Knots.

The project is now ongoing and enriched as a live audiovisual performance with musician Dirk Bruinsma.

Delighted to have been chosen for the culture prize which is being awarded every two years. The category media art and digital culture is featured in this round. The jury was especially impressed- they wrote- by Knots and Alterations: the way such topics as connectivity and the impact of digital communication are represented.
