BEJART

HONG KONG

APRIL 2018

Inspired by the fluid and instant nature of dance, this series was named after French ballet dancer and choreographer Maurice Béjart. Capturing the fundamental concept of movement through dance, the installation takes form as a series of delicate kinetic embroideries of dancers hung within spaces

that allows them to flow, move, and perform. Each piece of this series is created with cotton rope overlaid on a transparent fabric to create a sense of constant motion.

“Dance is not fixed but can leave a lasting impression on the viewer.

As a performance art, dance is truly ephemeral. It is like a temporary drawing; it disappears when the movement ends.” With the flowing of the wind within the spaces these artworks exists, Bejart constantly changes through time and space leaving the similar impressions dance may offer.

Bejart has been shown in different architectural locations around the world including Hong Kong, France, Japan, South Africa, Mexico, Malaysia and the US.
