DF started approaching dance via video recording himself in his studio in The Hague, NL, during the pandemic of 2020-2022.
Video-recording emerged in response to the unexpected and sudden absence of audience (Video-performing and video-dancing are found to behold an epistolary diachronic principle with their audience, the camera becoming a stand-in puppet-mediator).
Studio-recording was especially inspired by the auto-recording practice DF saw in the 2021 exhibition Bruce Nauman: Contrapposto Studies, at Punta della Dogana in Venice.
There is something in dancing, DF slowly realizes, that recalls the transition of the flux of language between speech and writing.
While taking the first steps to respond this call, DF moves within the spaces of loneliness, the frame and screen(a camera, une chambre) and its projections in the staging of present>past>future. This additional layers add to DF interest in the person, memory, permanence, impermanence and transformation.
